GREETING 



As year by year we gather in an aTinual convention, 

To bring to one another something helpful, something new; 

To tell with satisfaction how our plumbing beats creation, 

And how far we've left behind us things our fathers used to do. 

We hear about inventions which have set the world a'lhinking; 

We tell about improvements that the best results insure; 
And we think of all the microbes generations have been drinking, 

Until sanitary plumbing made the doctors pretty pooi. 

But when everything is over, and we've said goodbye and parted; 

When we've scattered to our labors and our homes throuu;hout the land ; 
The thing we carr\- witn us is the fellowship which bound us 

When we stood as fellow v\'orkers, face to face and hand to hand. 

We recall the thrill of triumph when ue heard of others' progress, 
And the breath of inspiration fanned our zeal into a flame; 

For the future stretched before us with its widening field of action. 
And the manhood in us wakened to a nobler end and aim. 

So to-day we bid you welcome as with heart and hand we greet you. 
In our homes or in assembly or where'er we chance to meet; 

And we offer you our City with its manifold attractions. 

Where the glorious old Atlantic rolls her breakers at your feet. 

May the days we spend together be replete with joy and brightness. 
And the spirit of real comradeship in all things great and small; 

For you'll find that little Jersey, with her meadows and mosquitoes. 
Has a heart that 's true and loyal and that 's large enough for all. 

Once again we bid you welcome, and we trust this annual session 

Which has brought us Master Worker from the North and South and West, 

Will be one we'll long remember for its mighty onward ino\enient, 
And its unity of feeling in things we count our best. 

-JEAX G. BOOBY ER. Passaic. A'. J.

History of NeA\^ Jersey 



The first land that dehghts the eye of the 
ocean voyager upon the broad Athuitie as he 
nears tlie "gateway of the new world", is the 
lofty highlands on which stand the twin lights 
of the Xavesiiik. nightly shedding their wel- 
coming and warning rays seaward for many 
miles. 

The next ])oint of interest on the way to the 
metro])olis is Sandy Hook, once called Cole- 
Tnan's Point in memory of a fellow voyager of 
Henry Hndson, who met his death at the 
hands of savages. The brave sailor's body 
was buried here nearly thi-ee hundred years 
ago. the first sacrifice on these shores to the re- 
demption of the Western World from aborig- 
inal barbarism, and its dedication to the high 
achievements of a Caucasian civilization. 

The good shij) carrying the home-comer who 
is returning to his native land in a s])irit of 
thankfulness that his lot has been cast here, and 
the poor immigrant looking hopefully to the 
futiu'e for the home which he has determined to 
scciu'e by his honest labor in this glorious land 
of promise, continues her stately advance un- 
til the shore, with its line of forest-crowned 
hills, comes more clearly into view. Then are 
seen many beautiful homes and church spires, 
which add the element of human interest to the 
picturesciue scene. 

The "Narrows;" as the entrance to Xew 
York bay is called, is reached and ])assed. The 
next object that demands attention is the col- 
ossal bi-onze statue of Liberty enlightening the 
Morld. wliicb stands on a small island well out 
in the noble bay, with the shores of Xew Jersey 
as a background. This g'rand, majestic figure 
which rises three hundred and fifty feet above 
the ground on which it stands, and which so 
fittingly typifies "liberty" as understood by 
lovers of their coimtry and of mankind, was a 
gift of France — its tribute of admiration for 
what the great republic has accom])lished for 
the liberation of man, and also in commemora- 
tion of the dark and trying times of our Kevo- 



lutionary struggle, when both peoples fought 
side by side for the same sacred cause. The 
statue stands on what is known as Bedloe's Is- 
land, foniierly a part of Xew Jersey, but ceded 
by the state to the United States government 
as the most appropriate site for this great com- 
memorative and symbolical monument. The 
immense fortifications on bot.h sides of the 
"X^arrows " were clearly seen and demanded at- 
tention before ]?edloc"s Island was reached, 
and now that point passed, the great metropo- 
lis comes g-radually into plainer view. 

The sky-line formed by the tall buildings, 
the rivers on the right and left, or east and west 
of the city, both mingling their waters in the 
magnificent harbor that extends .southward, 
bordered on the west side over its entire dis- 
tance by the shore of Xew .Jersey, the hundreds 
of steam and sailing craft of every size and 
variety known to marine construction — some 
anchored out in the waters of the upper har- 
bor, others tied to wiliarves discharging loads 
of merchandise brought from far distant 
climes, all taken together form a most wonder- 
ful ])icture of the results of the energj^ and en- 
terprise of a free pecjple. 

Everywhere about these shores are historic 
memories of the most exalted and interesting- 
kinds. The waters that wash them now once 
bore the frail barks of the \entin-esome early 
ex])lorers who .sailed westward over the track- 
less w aste of the Atlantic, following the course 
blazed on its until then unknown waters by the 
greatest of all na\igatoi-s and explorers — 
Christopher Columbus. The X^ew .Tersey 
shore line of the bay and Hudson river where 
the .scenes of many landings and settlements by 
those hardy voyagers. Treaties with the Indi- 
ans, noted in the early archives of the colony 
of X'^ew Jersey, were made here, and many in- 
teresting incidents of the stmggle between 
the Continentals and the British army and its 
Tory sympathizers transpired in the pai-t of 
our state that extends westward from these 





S6 



shores. New Jersey is justly styled the "bat- 
tleground of the Revolution", and tliere is 
scarcely a foot of her territory, particularly in 
this section, that has not been made sacred liy 
the tramp of AVasliington's brave and devoted 
army and by the blood which his gallant sold- 
iers freely ponred foi'th in many hard-fonght 
and bravely won battles for liberty. 

The great immigrant landing place of the 
port of New York is on Ellis Island, which is 
territorially a part of New Jersey. Here up- 
ward of eight hundred thousand wanderers 
from all the civilized lands of the earth are 
annually received and eared for until sent to 
their various points of destination in such parts 
of our vast territory as they may have chosen 
for abodes. 

New Jersey is traversed by all the great 
trunk lines of railway that run east, west, north 
and soutii; these great highways of commerce 
which penetrate our vast continent, connecting 
the Atlantic with the Pacific, and the lake re- 
gion of the north with the sunny lands border- 
ing upon the JNIexican gulf, all converge by di- 
rect line or branch on that pai't of the shore line 
of New Jersey «hicli extends from C'ounnuni- 
paw on the south to Weehawken on the north. 
Fully three (juarters of the total number of 
immigrants that seek our shores annually in 
search of new homes find the first American 
soil on which they are privileged to stand some- 
where between these two points. It may also 
be said with safety that a like proportion of the 
exports and imports which constitute the com- 
merce of the great port of Xe\\' Jersey enter in- 
to or depart from our continent witliin the 
limits of the same district. 

Xew Jer.sey, eminent for many things con- 
tributory to the })rogress of civilization, is pre- 
eminent hi railroad facilities. Her mileage of 
tracks in ])roportion to area of territory and 
population is greater than that of any other 
state in the Union, and the terminal facilities 
of ])assenger and freight depots which line 
the shores of the har])or and the Hutlson i-iver 
are, in the matter of cajnicity and equipment, 
unequalled by similar establishments in any 
part of the world. In this connection it is in- 
tresting to recall the fact that the first railroad 
charter granted in America was issued by the 
State of New Jersey to Col. John Stevens, of 
Ho])oken. The date of this important epoch- 
making franchise was 1817, and the grant out 
of \\hich the begimiings of the great Pennsyl- 
vania railroad — now the standard railway of 
the \\'orld — grew, was granted five years later 



in 18'2;J. Now the great depots and caravan- 
saries of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, 
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Lehigh Valley, 
the Krie, I^ackawanna, Ne\\- York, Ontario, 
and ^Vestern, and the West Shore — these gi- 
gantic structures occupy in almost mibroken 
array the New Jersey shores of the harbor and 
river, from the Kill von Kull to the scMithern 
extremity of the majestic Palisades of the 
Hudson. 

Large coal shipping wharfs and towering 
grain elevators are also here — all parts of the 
stupendous machinery of transportation of 
w hicli the great trunk line roasls referred to 
above form the basis. 

Here are the tidewater depositories for the 
distribution of practically all the coal mined 
in the Wilkesbarre and Scranton districts, and 
also for a very large ])roi:)orti()n of the same 
eonmiodity taken from the coal fields of the 
Lehigh Valley. The grain brought from the 
great wheat fields of the Northwest by the way 
of the (xreat Lakes, Erie canal and the Hud- 
.son river is here ti-anshipped to ocean carriers 
and sent aci-oss seas to the i-emotest corners 
of the earth. Nowhere else on the continent 
is there so much that is illustrative of the all- 
c()n(i\iering energy of American industrial and 
commercial life than is to be seen here, and yet 
it is much less than three centuries since JNIich- 
ael Pavdeson, an oflicer of the Dutch ^Vest In- 
dia Company, erected for himself a solitary 
hut — the first habitation of a white man on the 
land now covered l)y Jersey City, which is now 
the center of all this industrial activity. 

On the river fronts of Jersey City, Hoboken 
and ^Veeha\\ken are the piers and freight 
whai-fs of some of the greatest ocean steamship 
lines of the world. The Hamburg- American, 
the North (rcrnian Idoyd, the Scandinavian- 
American, the Italian General Navigation and 
other lines of lesser note — all sending their gi- 
gantic ships at weekly or even shortei- intervals 
to the ports of northern, western and southern 
Europe, the Mediteranean and the Orient. 

But the fame of these towns does not rest 
alone on their railroad and steamship terminals. 
Within their borders are large, pros])erous 
])opidations, whose bread-winners find con- 
stant and well-paid em])loyment in hundreds 
of manufacturing establishments engaged in 
the pi'oduction of almost evei-y commodity 
known and related to modern life. Many of 
these industrial plants are the leading ones of 
their kind, not only in our own country, but 
also in the world. 



Immediately north of this area of wonder- 
ful business and commercial activitj^ there 
looms up one of the grandest scenic triuni])hs 
of nature to he found in any part of the world 
■ — the Palisades of the Hudson. This rugged 
and ])ictnres(}ue wall of rock, rising in bold 
and imposing grandeur hundreds of feet above 
the placid waters of tiie noble river that washes 
its base, continues for miles to and jjast the 
northern linn'ts of the state. IJack of this rock 
ribbed river boundary is a plateau, beginning 
at its summit, wliich slo|)es away in a beautiful 
undulating landscape to the Ilackensack river. 
about ten miles away. The Palisades will con- 
tinue to be an intei-esting and sublime feature 
of the natural scenery of our country while 
time endiu'es; this is now assured, for the pub- 
lic-s|)irited citizens of New .Jersey taking the 
lead have, with the co-operation of the great 
state of New York, placed this wonderful 
work of nature forever beyond the reach of the 
despoiler and the vandal. 

Returning southward to the ])oint w here the 
Kill von KuU enters New York bay. we tind 
on the New Jersey shores of the Kills, another 
great hive of industry in Bayonne. 

Many are the varieties of industrial activity 
here, but all combined are overshadowed by one 
— oil refining and the extraction from crude 
petroleum of the numerous by-])roducts. which 
scientific analytical chemistry his contributed 
to the convenience and comfort of modern life. 
Several large corporations, doubtless attracted 
to the place liy the miles of deep water front- 
age which surrounds it, have extensive works at 
l?ayonne. 

The shore front of Bergen Point, also a ])art 
of Payonne city presents an attractive panora- 
ma of beautiful homes with green lawns ex- 
tending in graceful sloi)es or ten-aces to the 
granite sea wall which protects the "point" 
from the rapidly flowing waters of the "Kill," 
as they meet those which flow south from the 
Passaic and the Ilackensack, and mingling to- 
gether continue in the same course through 
Staten Islatid sound down to the sea. 

It was in Eli/.abctlijKJrt that, in 1780, the 
Hessian — Gen. Knyphausen — landed with a 
force of five thousand men, intending to march 
from thei'c to Mori'istown and attack tiie dim- 
inished and half -starved ai-my of \Vashington; 
but before the iinaders liad advanced a mile 
from their stai'ting point, a small force, coni- 
l)Osed of patriotic residents of pjlizabethtown, 
met and drove them back to their lx)ats. The 
first company of soldiers raised in Xew Jersey 



for service with the Continental army was re- 
cruited in Elizabethtown, and many as well as 
fierce were the skirmishes that took place in 
this town during the dark and trying years 
of the Revolutionary struggle, between raid- 
ing bands of Tories from Staten Island and 
Xew York and the loyal sons of Xew Jersey, 
who. ever on the alert to meet the marauders, 
were invarial)ly successful in driving them ofl^. 
although not always was this accouiplished 
without the loss of many precious lives. One 
of the saddest but most glorious memories of 
those trying times is associated with one of 
tliese raids. A numerous band of Tories land- 
ed on tlie Xew .Tersey shore and marched to 
Elizabethtown. the much weaker body of ])a- 
ti-iot defenders retreating l)efore them. The 
])atriots took refuge in the old chiu-ch building 
which stood on the groiuid now occupied by the 
First Presbyterian Church; the Tories sur- 
rounded the sacred building and poui'cd volley 
aftei- voUey against the doors and through 
open windows, but the devoted band within, 
led and encouraged by the pastor. Mr. Cald- 
well, at last succeeded in driving them off but 
not l)efore many lives had been sacrificed. 

The saddest incident connected with this 
raid and the resultant battle was the murder of 
the devoted wife of the pastor by a Hessian 
soldier, who stabbed her to the heart in her own 
home while she was kneeling in prayer. 

Our hund)lc tribute to the Revolutionary 
memories which cluster around Elizabethtown 
having lieen duly jiaid we return to note some 
of the striking things to be seen about the Am- 
boys that were not referred to before. The Rar- 
itan river here discharges its waters into Prin- 
cess bay, an arm of whicii forms the fine harbor 
that fronts Perth Amboy on the north and 
South Amboy on the south shores of the river. 
This region is pre-eminent in the production 
of clay jjroducts of every variety. At South 
Amboy are the great tidewater dejjositories for 
coal brought by the Eehigh A'alley i-ailroad 
from almost the entire anthracite regions of 
Pennsvh ania. Millions of tons are stored 
here, and millions more are every year shipped 
l)y boats to the ports of the country north and 
soutii for distribution by rail and river to the 
interior cities of the continent that are not sit- 
uated on the lines which lead directly to and 
from the mines. 

Perth Aml)oy is a port of entry, and in the 
early colonial days enjoyed a far greater sea 
connnerce than did the city of X'^ew York at 
that time. It is still a place of nnich impor- 



59 



tance as a manufacturing center, having within 
its confines the largest silver refinery, the larg- 
est copper refinery and the largest fire brick 
and terra-cotta works in America. The most 
im])ortant interior waterway of the state — the 
Delaware and Raritan canal — passes through 
the Amboys here and empties its waters into 
the ocean. For many years before the great 
railways of the state were developed this arti- 
ficial waterway was the best and almost the 
oidy means of transporting cargoes to the 
large inland towns, which owe much of their 
present im])ortancc and |)rosperity to the 
freighting facilities affoi-dcd them by this now 
almost obsolete means of carrying on com- 
merce. 

Further down the coast lies the (juaint and 
picturesque town of Keyport, A\hich was once 
a great center for the culti\'ation and market- 
ing of oysters. Althougli much of the glory 
it enjoyed from that trade in former years has 
departed, there is still enough of the traffic left 
fo furnisli "KeyiJort' to tiiose lovers of the 
luscious bivalves who are partial to them. But 
Key])ort has been fortunate in that the agricul- 
tural interests of the country lying back of it 
grew in about the same ratio as the oyster bus- 
iness diminished, so that at ])resent its com- 
merce is perhaps greater than e\'er; the only 
difference being that it is now made up more 
lai-gely of farm products than of oysters and 
fish as was once the case. 

Keyport is the last i)iu'ely commercial or 
manufacturing town on the iVtlantic coast of 
Xew Jersey: throughout its entire length of 
one hundred and twenty-five miles from this 
])oint to Cape ]May the shore is dotted Avith 
summer resorts well known to pleasure-seekers 
throughout the world. There is Seabright, 
I>,ong Eranch. Klberon — where the lamented 
President Garfield died — Asbury Park and 
Ocean (xrove, which is uni(]ue among pleasure 
resorts because of its association \\ith one of 
the most numerous religious bodies in the Uni- 
ted States. 

A few miles further south is Sea (xirt, the 
military camp of the national guard of the 
state, to which each regiment is annually 
brought in its turn for one week's practice in 
iictual militarv dutv. camj:) life and target prac- 
tice. 

Atlantic City, the next ])lace of note, is by 
far the greatest of American seaside resorts. 
Its iiermanent residents number thirty thou- 
sand souls, but during the sununer season it 
houses a po])ulation of fully two hundred and 



fifty thousand. Tliis famous resort enjoys the 
best ])()ssible railroad connectiojis with every 
section of the country, and in addition to regu- 
lar residents and summer boarders, it is visited 
daily by thousands of excursionists from the 
north, south and west. 

At the extreme southern part of the state is 
Cai)e May, which is prol)al)ly the oldest seaside 
])leasure resort in Ajuerica. JMany years before 
railroads were dreamed of, Philadel])hians pa- 
tronized that deliglitful ])art of the Xew Jersey 
coast, when to i-each it they had to make the 
jouiMiey in their own ])rivate carriages. The 
first wliite man known to have landed here was 
Capt. Cornelius Jacobson Mey, a Xorwegian, 
who sailed along this ])art of the coast and up 
into the Delaware river and bay. Tiie navi- 
gatoi- was so pleased with the beautiful point of 
land jutting out into the ocean that he landed 
tjiereon and bestowed upon it his own name. 
Two hundred and thirty years later Cape May 
became a city, and no fairer stretch of coast and 
sea can l)e found any where in the world than 
tljat i)ait of the coast of New Jersey where it 
stands. Rounding the ca])e, and passing up 
the Delaware ri\er, which here empties its 
mighty volume of water intp the Atlantic 
Ocean, we come to Maurice River Cove, where 
the great oyster-planting grounds of the state 
are located. From the Delaware bay and 
Maurice River Co\ e there is taken annually up- 
ward of three million dollars worth of oysters, 
\\hich are ship])ed by rail or boat to all parts 
of the counti'v. T'^jjwards of two thousand 
men and four iiundred sailing crafts of various 
sizes are engaged in this important industry. 

Furthei- up the river are the manufacturing 
towns of liridgeport and Salem, the latter 
famous for its glass works and fruit and \'ege- 
table canneries. There are manv thi-iving 
towns on the Xew Jersey shore of the Dela- 
ware, all of tliem noted for the possession of 
large and flourishing maiuifactui'ing indus- 
tries. 

Camden, situated at nearly the head of navi- 
gation for lai-ge vessels, is the most important 
and ]}opuIous Xew Jersey city on the river. 
The industrial establishments of this flourish- 
ing city are most imumierable. Included 
among them are two of the largest shipbuild- 
ing ])lants in the country. Large engine build- 
ing shops, machine works and foimdries known 
through their ]iroducts the world over are 
found liere. Camden is a favorite center for 
the \arious forms of textile mamifactvu-e and 
for the tanning and finishing of leather. jNIany

very large factories engaged in these lines of 
business furnish profitable employment to thou- 
sands of men and women residents of the city. 

Midwny ])et\\een Camden and Trenton is the 
city of Burlington, also situated on the river: 
here are many siioe factories and canneries, as 
well as other industries of an im])ortant char- 
acter which are steadily increasing in number 
and proportions. 

Trenton, the capital city of the state and the 
home of some of the largest pottery manufac- 
tories in the world, is finally reached. Trenton 
as a ])ottery center is second in the Ignited 
States only to New l^iverpool in the west; but 
it is questionable Avhether there, or any jjlace 
else in the world, cxce])ting only the art estab- 
lishments of Kurope, China and Japan, better 
ware is made. The industries of tliis city, out- 
side of the potteries, are large and highly diver- 
sified. The great Roebling plants for the pro- 
duction of structural steel and iron are located 
here. ^Machine sho])s. foundries, woolen mills, 
cement works, wood-working mills, furniture 
factories; in fact, all the activities of a produc- 
tive kind re(|uired to furnish emjiloyment for 
a large population of intelligent men and wo- 
men are to be found running prosperously in 
this thriving wide-awake city. 

Trenton played an important part, or rather 
was the scene of supremely important occur- 
rences during the closing years of the Revolu- 
tionary War. Here was fought the battle 
which is now commemorated by a monument in 
the form of a high marble colimm surmounted 
by a colossal broir/e figure of (rcneral AVash- 
ingtcm in the attitude of directing his troops. 
The monument stands at the head of one of the 
princi]:)al streets, and is ])lainly ^'isillle i'voiyi 
all i^arts of the city. 

It was here, too, at a point now included in 
the area of the city's beautiful jjleasure ground 
— Cadwallader Park — that the famous passage 
of the ice-covered Delaware was effected by 
Washington's army on that bleak December 
night that preceded the battle. 

Leaving the banks of the rivei-. which here 
ceases to lie na\igable for even the smallest 
craft, we find not far away the beautiful old 
town of Princeton, where the second and the de- 
cisive part of the Eatttle of Trenton was 
fought and won. Here is located the famous 
university of Princeton, one of the oldest and 
best known institutions of learning in this 
country. Proceeding northward from here, 
miles and miles of splendid agricultural coun- 
try with cultivated fields and comfortable farm- 



houses ])ass in panorama-like review. Pictur- 
escjue little villages are met here and there, with 
the ever-present schoolhonse engaged in the 
noble work of training the youth of the land to 
meet the duties and responsibilities of life, and 
the little church with its slender spire pointing 
u|)war<l as in unite acknowledgment of the 
blessings which Providence has so bountifully 
l)estowed on all. 

Continuing northward, the large and flour- 
ishing manufacturing city of Xew Brunswick 
comes into view. Amost from the ven^ betrin- 
ning ol the Revolutionary struggle imtil its 
close this town and the comitry immediately 
sun-ounding it was the scene of nranv fierce 
and sanguinary struggles between the contend" 
ing forces, in which success alternated from on^' 
side to the other, to rest finally with the trium- 
])hant Americans. 

While tliere is much about the okl town of 
Xew Jirunswick that is suggestive of colonial 
times, it is still in all essential respects at the 
present time a fine. ])rogressive, modern j\mer- 
ican city. Near its business center are groujied 
the any fine buildings of Rutgers College, 
slu-rounding the large and park-like campus 
with its noble shade trees and beautiful, smooth 
well-ke])t lawns. 

The Raritan river and the Delaware and 
Raritan canal run east and west along the nort.'i- 
ei-n ])ai-t of the city, Avhicli is connected with 
the op])osite shores by s])lendid railway and 
general ti-attic bridges, sti-ongly built of stone 
to resist the pressure of the great ice pack that 
sometimes in winter forms in the riAcr. 

There ai'e many fine factory buildings here, 
distributed principally along the river front. 
Two of these, the wall ])a])er plant and the sur- 
gical and medical appliance laboratory, are the 
largest establishments engaged in their lines of 
business in the world. 

Still northward fi-om New Bnmswick, a dis- 
tance that is covered by the ti-ains of the Penn- 
sylvania railroad in a little more than one hour, 
stands Newark, which is the largest city in Xew 
Jersey in point of population, wealth, number 
and variety of manufactories and all the other 
institutions and features that o-o to make a 
great city. It is as a manufacturing city that 
Newark is most famous. There is said to be 
not one line of ])]-oductive industry known to 
civilization that is without a representative es- 
tablishment witliin her borders. 

Here arc immense plants for the production 
of the heaviest machinery, such as Corliss eng- 
ines, steam pumps, agricultural machinery.

electrical inacliiiierv of the heaviest and also the 
lightest and most delicate ty])es. A^'atches, sew- 
ing machines and jewelry. In this last named 
indnstry there are now some eighty distinct fac- 
tories engaged in the city of Xewark. ranging 
in size from establishments employing six hun- 
dred o])eratives downward to others which give 
work to pei'hajjs a half dozen individuals. Xew- 
ark stands tirst among the cities of the United 
States in the mannfactin-e of solid gold and sil- 
ver articles classitiaiile as jewelry. 

Other lines of industiy in which Newark is 
either emii>ent oi- ])i'eeminent are the ])roducti<)n 
of leather and the many lines of goods made 
from that commodity: hai-d and soft felt hats 
and s])()ol thread. There are many large tan- 
neries, trunk and bag manufactories, and count- 
ing the Orange valley shoj)s with those of Xew- 
ark. there are upwards of fifty large ])lants 
engaged in the production of fur and felt hats 
and several employed in making varnish. Long 
before the era of railroads. Xewark city was an 
important manufacturing and commercial cen- 
ter and enjoyed very great advantages from its 
location on the Passaic river and also from the 
once famous ]Morns canal, thi-ough which coal, 
iron and other freight was in ])re-railroad days 
brought by boat to the veiy center of the city. 

The city of Paterson, \\hich lies about fifteen 
miles north of X^ewark, is another large center 
for several important lines of manufacture. 
Her chief industry, the one that in fact, is much 
greater in its proportions tlian all the others 
combined, is the manufacture of silk goods. 

Paterson, "the silk city." sometimes called 
the "Lyons of America," has one hinidred and 
three mills and more than a dozen dye houses, 
all engaged in the production and finishing of 
the finest silk fabrics. Xearly one-half of the 
entire product of silk goods in the Ignited 
States comes from Xew Jersey mills, and of 
these fully ninety per cent, are located in Pater- 
son. 

In IDO.'J there were forty-five millions of dol- 
lars of capital invested in these mills, and the 
prodigious number of twenty-eight thousand 
persons, about equally divided between men 
and women were employed in them. 

There are two large ])lants in Paterson for 
the construction of locomotives, both of world- 
wide reputation for the superiority of their 
work. At one of these shops all the engines 
now in use on the Russian Asiatic roadways 
were ])roduced. 

There is also an immense steel and iron roll- 
ing mill here, and a linen thread manufactoiT 



which em])lovs thousands of ])eople and pro- 
duc sa grade of goods equal to the best of its 
kind found elsewhere in the world. The Pas- 
saic Falls long furnished t!ie power to I'un Pat- 
erson nn'lis. and although steam engities are 
now lai-gely used there are many manufacturers 
that still use the water power. 

Passaic, distant about two miles from the 
largei- city of Paterson, is another great and 
im])oi'tant mannfactiuMng center. ])robab!v the 
greatest in the state in proportion to ])opulati()n. 
Like Paterson. the textile industries ])redomi- 
nate. but here, instead of silk, there are innnense 
^^'oolen and worsted mills, in which yai'us and 
cloth of all kinds are made. There are several 
large ])lants for the manufacture of rubber 
goods; six manufactories of handkerchiefs, in 
which many hundreds of girls are employed, 
and a number of chemical works of an exten- 
sive kind. Besides these manufactories there 
are other extensive establishments engaged in 
the manufacture of cables, artificial leather l)elt- 
ing and packing and foundry products. \Vith 
these very brief notices of the important manu- 
facturing centers of the state named above, a 
few facts and figures relating to the collective 
industries of Xew Jersey will fittingly close 
this i)art of our review. 

The State of Xew Jersey ranks sixth in the 
list of manufacturing .states in the value of her 
annual output of manufactured goods; slie is 
surpas.sed in this respect only by the great 
states of Xew York. Pennsylvania, JNlassa- 
chusetts. Illinois and Ohio. 

In the per capita value of the annual product 
of her factories and workshojis, X^ew Jersey, 
occu])ies second place among the states, she 
being surpassed in this respect only by ^lassa- 
chusetts; the lead of the last named state is, 
however, \ery sligjit, and if Xew Jerseys rate 
of increase is maintained the next decennial cen- 
sus will find her in fir.st ]jlace. 

In the progress made during the ten years 
wbich intervened between the eleventh and 
twelfth census years, 189()-1!>()0, the rate of in- 
crease in the value of manufactured products 
in Xew Jersey was seventy-two and one-half 
percent. (72. ,5). as against thirty-eight and 
three-tenths ])er cent. (88.3) gain by her closest 
competitor. 

In the amount of capital invested i)i all 
forms of productive industry. Xew Jersey is 
fourth in rank and in the number of ])ersons 
employed she holds the sixth place. 

In the year 1903 there were about two thou- 
sand four hundred (2,400) manufacturini>- 



65 



establisliiiients In \ew Jersey in wliicli ten or 
more persons were employed. 

In these establislimeiits tliei'e was capit.il a;^- 
yrei'atini'' four luindred millions ($400.000- 
000) of dollars invested in UW.i. The value of 
the manufactured goods ])rochice(l in these fac- 
tories and worls:s]io))s was iiot much short of 
seven hundred millions (.$700,000,000) of dol- 
lars diu'ing- the same year, f n these vast indus- 
trial enterprises an army of three hundred and 
forty tliousand (.'J-tO.OOO) o))eratives find con- 
stant employment at wages that average much 
higher than the earnings of labor in any other 
section of our country. 

This condition of ])i'ospei'ity lias had its ori- 
gin in the wonderfully advantageous geo- 
gra])hical ])osition of our state. Its si)lendid 
water frontage on the Hudson river and New 
York bay on the ea.st, and the noble 13elaware 
on the west, with many other navigab'e streams 
and canals, have all contributed their share: 
but tlie great controlling factor in building u]) 
tile industrial and commercial greatness of our 
beloved commonwealth has been, and will con- 
tinue to be, the fact that all the great transcon- 
tinental lines of railway traversing the state in 
all directions converge together upon her east- 
ern shores. 

A glance now at some other features of the 
state and the little space that can be afforded 
here for a subject that could be sj^read over vol- 
umes without exhaustitig it will be covered. 

The northern part of New Jersey is noted 
for its wondrous scenic beauty. The mount- 
ains of Sussex. ^Morris and Warren counties 
will compare favorably with the Allegheny reg- 
ions of western Pennsvhania and West Vir- 



gmia. 



TJiis beautiful part ol' our sttite is populated 
by a hard}' race of i'ai-mei-s who cultivate the 
rich valleys between the mountain I'anges. earn- 
ing an independent living tlierei)y. Hundreds 
of wealthy citizens of tlie meti-opolis, attracted 
by the beautiful scenery and salnbrious mount- 
ain air, have built palatial country homes here. 
The unsurpassed facilities afforded by rail- 
roads which connect tliis section of oiu- .state 
Mith Xew York is steadily and ra])i(lly increas- 
ing this class of our ])0])ulation. In Morris 
County lies our beautiful Lake Ho])ateong on 
the summit of a mountain range fifteen lum- 
dred feet over sea level. 'I'his magnificent 
sheet of water is nine miles long and has an av- 
erage width of three miles. Its numerous is- 
lands and beautiful wooded shores, dotted at in- 
tervals with rich and eommodions mansions 



built by people of wealth who reside here in 
many in.stances throughout the entire year, 
presents a scene of idealic beauty wliich cannot 
1k' a<le(|uately deseril)ed. 

\N'hile the ])art of our state ])ossesses all the 
features that attract those who achnire the sub- 
lime and the l)eautiful in nature, it has also im- 
mense ])otentialities of future development 
along industrial lines. These mountains con- 
tain incalcidable wealth in the form of deposits 
of the richest magnetic iron ores to be found in 
the world. Some of the mines producing these 
ores have been worked since 174<(). and much of 
the camion and cannon balls that formed the ar- 
tillery su|)])ly of \Vashingtons army were ca.st 
at the old Taylor foundry at High Bridge 
from ii-on taken from the Hibernia mine at 
Stanhope and reduced in a small furnace a 
shoi-f distance from the mine, the ruins of 
which are still standing. Zinc and copper with 
other minerals are also found and ])rofitably 
mined in these regions, and the mountain 
streams that abound everywhere haA'e brought 
many a factory into the intervening valleys to 
take advantage of the almost costless water 
power which they supply. 

Xew Jersey! Beautiful beyond compai-e 
in everything that delights the eye and ap- 
peals to the mind. Rich in the possession of 
almost every natural advantage: the home of 
wealth, refinement, industry and ])atriotism, 
with every interest of life protected by just 
and e(}uitable laws; what more can even the 
most ardent lover say in her praise? 

\\hen the first settlers came to this country 
and penetrated into the forests of X^ew Jersey 
they found a division of the great Algonkin 
family of Indians, known as the Delaware or 
Lemii Lenape, hunting game and ])addling 
their dug-out canoes u])on her waters. These 
Indians had at that time made some pi'ogress 
in ag'riculture and the elementary arts, and 
were ])e!iceably disposed. Kven then they 
were few in numbei-, and the last of the tribe 
has long gone to the hai)i)y hunting grounds. 

In the begimiing. Xew .lersey was not an 
Knglish colony. Holland, under the auspices 
of the Dutch West India Company, was the 
first to send her ])lanters. as settlers, into this 
part of North xVmerica. By 10.50. ignoring 
the English claims and grants of the Ci'own, 
she had. l)y settlement or occupancy, well estai)- 
lislied herself upon the banks of the Hudson, 
Pas.saic, Hacken.sack and Raritan rivers, as 
well as upon those of several smaller streams.

The ambitious (Tii.stavus ^Vdolpiiiis. in his su- 
preme desire to make Sweden a woi-ld power, 
e(iuip])ed an expechtion in Kt.'JS to settle upon 
the banks of the Dehiwai'e ri\'er. Here Swe- 
den estabhshed for a brief period civil and mil- 
itary government, and a short i'ei<)ii of prosper- 
ity was enjoyed. Eut in Ki.j.j Xew Sweden 
was conquered by the Dutch, and for the ensu- 
ino- nine years Xew Jersey was absolutely mi- 
der the control of the Hollander. 

But England was only biding her time. 
When peace and the house of Stuart were re- 
stored to England, Charles 11, with disregard 
for an}i:hing beyond or above his own pleasure 
in the matter, ignored or ti'ampled u])on all pre- 
vious grants executed, and deeded toJiis brother 
.Tames, Duke of York, a large ti-act of land, 
comprising what is now the entire State of 
New Jersey with mucli of Xew York and X"ew 
England. 

But the Dutch colony practically separated 
the X'^ew England colonies from those of Yir- 
ginia, ^Maryland and the C'arolinas, which was 
not conducive to their welfare and closer union. 
In the summer of KWU, negotiations were en- 
tered into with t.'ie Dutch that were strongly 
reinforced by the presence in the harbor of 
X'^ew York of English men-of-war. The 
Dutch surrendered. 

James, Duke of York, had already trans- 
ferred to two fa\-orites of the house of Stuart 
— Jo2in, I^ord Berkeley and Sir George Car- 
teret — what is now the entire State of X^ew Jer- 
sey. The name, Xew Jersey, was given t'le 
land in honor of Carteret's defence of the 
island of Jersey in the Parliamentary wars. 
During the troublous times of the war be- 
tween King and Parliament he had held the 
island for King Charles II, and as a reward 
was made treasurer of the navy and vice-cham- 
berlain of the king's Jiousehokl. 

The unusual natural advantages of X^ew 
Jersey, the diversified scenery, the water facil- 
ities, the rivers, the coasts, the mountains, and 
sheltered valleys, the game, fish, shellfish, fiiiit. 
nuts and the climate so well adapted to the cid- 
tivation of cereals and \egetables were even at 
that early day appreciated by Xew^ Jersey's 
first settlers, and largely dwelt upon in their 
letters to friends at home. 

Carteret and Berkeley were sufficiently ju- 
dicious in making known these natural advan- 
tages, and also in the form of gONcrnment they 
adopted, to soon attract to the little colony not 
only men from England and Scotland, but also 
from Long Island and Xew England. These 



families si'ttled ])i-inci])ally in Xewark; Eliza- 
beth and on the north shores of Monmouth 
county. In religion, the major part were dis- 
tinctively Calvinistic; in civil government and 
in their .home life, harsh, exacting and rigid; in 
character, honorable, earnest and honest. They 
recognized the church and the school as the very 
foundation of their government and existence, 
and the minister as the head of both. 

^Vl'ter a i'vw years, Berkeley (lis])()sed of his 
i-ights to a company of Englisii Quakers, and 
in 1()70 a geographical division of the state 
occurred. Erom a certain ])oint in Little Egg 
Harbor to a terminus near the Delaware Water 
Gap a line was drawn, and the line east of this, 
the colony of East Jersey, was assigned to 
Berkeley and his associates, while Carteret re- 
tained West Jersey, 

In AVest Jersey t'le influence of the Society 
of Eriends was predominant. The civil gov- 
ei'ument was largely modeled after that of \^ir- 
ginias, while in East Jersey it resembled that 
of X"ew England. 

In 1()7.5, Salem was settled; al)out 1680, 
Gloucester and what is now known as Trenton, 
at first called the "Ealls"; in 18()o, Tuckerton 
and Cape INIay. 

But the Dutch had not been idle all this time. 
X^ew Jersey was too fair a possession for them 
to willingly relinquisJi. In 1673, an effort 
was made to retake tJie colony, and it was suc- 
cessful. The followiu"' vear. however, it aii"iiin 
reverted to England. 

Shortly after tliis, a (juestion arose a.s to the 
Duke of York's title. James II claimed tiie 
proprietary right of govermnent, and Andros 
was commissioned governor. During the next 
six years dissensions frecjuently arose, for the 
spirit of rebellion against injustice had been 
aroused. It reached such a height in 1680 that 
the governor was arrested and carried to Xew 
York as a prisoner. The following year, 1631, 
the crown recognized the justice of the ])ropri- 
etor's contention, and local government thus 
was assured. Yet seeds had been sown that 
later bore fruit in the blood stains, the suffer- 
ings, the heart sorrows and the triumpJis of the 
Revolutionary war. Thus Xew Jersey was 
among the first of the little colonies to feel the 
wrongs of the oppressor and to take her stand 
for justice. On her soil, perhaps, Avere sown 
almost the first seeds that led to freedom for 
the colonists, and to tJie establishment of our 
great republic. 

But internal disagreements now arose. 
Wealthy coml)inations of capitalists had se-

cured from Berkeley and Carteret, or their as- 
siiiiis, the right to hirge tracts of land. This 
included the privilege of selecting governors 
and members of the executive council, rights 
which Berkeley and Carteret had derived from 
the crown, for the royal grant not only con- 
veyed the absolute right and title to the land, 
but also the power to govern and to establish 
such laws as "might be thought necessary, pro- 
\ ided they were not contrary, but, as near as 
conveniently might be, agreeable to the laws, 
statutes and governments of the realm of 
England. ' This gave the entire governmen- 
tal control, as it were, including the privilege 
of selecting- ffovernors. and members of the ex- 
ecutive council. 

The "quit-rent" agitation in East Jersey w-as 
now at its heig'ht. and the two colonies were so 
tlisorganized by t.hese various disturbances that 
in 170'2 the board of proprietors sin-rendered to 
the crown its rights of government, and, the 
two provinces being united. New Jersey for the 
tirst time became a royal colony. 

From this date. 1702. until the outbreak of 
the Revolutionary war. there was constant and 
ill-concealed friction between the representa- 
tives of the crown — the governors — and the 
local representatives — the House of Assemb'y. 
Those without property (lualifications raised 
the cry of "aristocracy" and were so generally 
and strongly opposed to the governoi's selected 
by the crown, who had. pei'haps, made but com- 
])aratively slight attem])ts to conceal their de- 
sire to enrich England, utterly regardless of 
imj^overishing the colony, tJiat a governor was 
given New .Jersey alone. Heretofore the same 
man had held otiice jointly over both New Jer- 
sey and Xew York. 

The i^eculiar natural a la])tation of the state 
for various lines of business and industries, had 
separated it, so to speak, into sections of varied 
I)usiness interests. In the western ])art of the 
I'oyal colony farming was the ])riiicipal occupa- 
tion: in East Jersey, commerce was the impor- 
tant factor: Perth Aml)oy threatened to rival 
Xew York as a commercial port, while Xew- 
ark, E'izabeth and the Momnouths were of no 
slight importance as shipbuilding centers. 
Notwithstanding the fact that tiie repressive 
l)olitical policy of the cro\\n was such as to pre- 
clude the broad de\elopmeiit of manufactures, 
yet in 1.'ie southern jjart of the state the abund- 
ance of sand and the seemingly limitless for- 
ests of oak and pine naturally led to the manu- 
facture of glass, while the large (|uantity of 
oyster shell lime, with l)og iron, caused forges 



and bloomeries to spring up. Cedar was ex- 
tensively mined from the sunken forests of the 
tide-water districts and used for shii)building. 
Copper mining was carried on in the northern 
central part of the state. But all these manu- 
factures wei-e so ham])ered and restricted by tJie 
unwise policy of England that, instead of dev- 
elo])ment being carried on broadly, compara- 
tively little was done. The fish industry was 
unham])ered. also the trade in skins and in the 
salt hay yielded by the marsh lands. These, 
therefore, were all that could flourish. 

Then, from 1702 to 177(5. English legislation 
was such as to place gold, silver and co])])er 
practically on a ])remium basis. An infiated 
jjuper currency, first issued in 1707. to aid the 
Canadian ex])edition against the French, was 
l)rovided. The effect of all this was to greatly 
I'estrict competition and manufactures, and to 
I'educe trade to little more than barter. 

The principal incidents of note during this 
period were the attempts made to suppress pir- 
acy in X'^ew York and Delaware bays, the estab- 
lisliment of an excellent system of ti'ansporta- 
tion between Xew York and Philadelphia, the 
location of ferries and post roads, the reclam- 
ation of waste lands, (juite a liberal immigra- 
tion of the Huguenot, Scotch-Irish, and (Ger- 
man elements, and the chartering of both 
I'rinceton University and Rutgers College. 
The religious revival led by Whitfield fol- 
lowed, then the propagation of abolition doc- 
trines by Woolman and the erection of bari-acks 
on account of the French and Indian wars. 
During all this period the steady if slow growth 
of the princi])les of independence, born of and 
fostered by England's most i:nwise polity, 
were increasing and unfolding. 

At the o])ening of the Revolutionary war, 
Xew .Jersey's sentiments were widely divergent. 
TJu'ee elements were prominent: one the Tory 
element: ))erhaps next in impoi-tance came the 
compromise party: the tJiird and last — weakest 
i'l numbers — was composed of the influential 
men and capitalists who Jiad an eye open to the 
increase of their ])rivate fortunes. Few. if 
any, at the commencement of the struggle, 
favored severing all I'elations with England. It 
seems more than [)assing strange, when the lib- 
erality and independence of the present day 
religion is considered, to know that in the early 
history of Xew Jersey, as well as of all parts of 
our country, government and religion were so 
closely linked that in this instance the niembers 
of t.he three different factions could be deter- 
mined with a'most unfailing certainty by know-

iiig wliat wa.s their c'liurch faith. The Tory 
])arty, for instance, inchuled nearly all the 
Church of Knt^land's adherents, many of the 
iion-conihative Quakers and a few of the ex- 
tremely rigid Calvinists that iuhahited East 
New Jersey. Those who favored continual 
protest or compromise were mainly the Scotch- 
Irish, the conservative Knglish Quakers and the 
majority of the less exacting Calvinists. 

New Jersey's part in the Hevolutionary war 
is one to which her people will ever point with 
])ride. The memorahle winter at ^Morristown, 
the hard-fought hattles at Trenton, ^Monmouth 
and Red Bank are prominent in these annals, 
wliile the raids at Salem. Springfield, Eliza- 
hetli and in the Ilackensack valley hore no un- 
important pai-t in the struggle for freedom. 
The retreat of AVashington across Xew Jersey, 
so closely followed hy Cornwallis, has made for- 
ever sacred this part of New Jersey soil, for no 
citizeTi can ever forget that it has heen hallowed 
hy sufferings and hravery, hy courage in the 
midst of the most hitter discouragements and 
hy almost vmeeiualled hardships. The hrave 
"Xew Jersey Blues" ha\e won an honored 
place in history. This name was given to a 
I)attalion of .)()() men raised in Springfield or its 
vicinity that \vere uniformed hy the women of 
the town in homespun fahrics, the pantaloons 
heing dyed hlue. They were descrihed as "the 
likeliest, well-set hody of men who ever entered 
upon a campaign." The state has been suf- 
ficiently proud of the designation to continue 
to uniform her troops in this color, and they 
still claim and have accorded to them the 
honored title. 

The Greenwich tea jjarty deserves equally 
honorable mention with that of Boston. It was 
soon after tlie destruction of this valued but 
highly taxed commodity in Boston harbor that 
the East India Comijany, not having correctly 
estimated the calibre of Xew Jersey patriotism, 
loaded the big "(ireyhound" with a cargo of 
tea hound for PJiiladelphia, and sent her up 
the Cohansey river. The tea was disdiarged at 
Cxreenwich and stored in a cellar just in front 
of the market yrounds. In the eveninff about 
forty men, disguised as Indians, carried the tea 
into an adjoining field and set fire to it. 

One principal reason. doul)tless. why Xew 
Jersey hore so important a part in the struggle 
for independence was because the state laj^ be- 
tween the two im])ortant cities of Xew York 
and Philadelphia. Throughout the entire strug- 
gle the Tory element was never suppressed. 



They weir openly hostile to the jjatriots, and 
the cruelties practised by the "Pine Robbers," 
princii)ally in the four counties of jNIonmouth, 
Burlington. (Gloucester and Salem, caused the 
very name to be dreaded. The Quakers, or as 
they were then called, the Society of Friends, 
remained apparently neutral in accordance with 
the tenets of their faith, although it was openly 
knowji that many of them were hearty sym])a- 
thi/ers with the revolutionary element. 

New Jersey at the ending of the war was in- 
clined to increase her grasp upon state rights 
and freedom. The iVrticles of Confederation 
were not sufficiently hinding. In 1776, New 
Jersey had ado])ted a constitution which ])ro- 
vided that all state officials should he elected 
by the legislature, and the legislature was to 
be chosen by voters possessing jjroperty (juali- 
fications. Although weak in some respects — 
numerically and financially — New Jersey's in- 
dependent spirit was strong, as was evinced in 
tJie stand she took for "state rights." Indeed, 
she carried these principles to such an extreme 
as at one time to refuse to obey Congress, and 
even established a court of admiralty and 
coined money. 

A convention was called at Anna])olis in 
1787 to revise the Articles of Confeileration; 
New Jersey's representatives responded to the 
call and were present. The outcome of this 
convention was the present constitution of the 
United States, adopted in Philadeli)hia in 1787. 
While the famous "New Jersey Plan " failed 
of being cai'ried, it proved to he tiie foundation 
upon which was erected the just measure of 
right by which in the senate of this nation every 
state is given equal representation according to 
pojjulation. So not only in the time of war, 
when enthusiasm is aroused and activity and 
sacrifice ai-e called for, has the State of New 
Jersey shown Jierself e(|ual to the occasion, hut 
also ^\'hen the wings of the bird of peace were 
folding that she might brood over the country, 
when just and e(|uable laws were needed, when 
civil government had to be strengthened and 
established, just measures framed and wise 
counsels prevail. M'hen liberty, the precious 
l)ossession fought for and won, must be 
guarded and buttressed. New Jersey showed 
herself able to grapple with the problem, and 
she again made history. 

The immediate effect of the adoption of the 
Constitution of the United States was quickly 
made manifest in New Jersey. This was evinced 
in one respect by the rapid growth of political 
parties. It was in large measure the spirit of

New Jersey and of Xew Jersey's prominent 
citizens that led to the election of Thomas 
Jeft'ei'son as president of the United States 
in 1800. and in 1801 to the election of Joseph 
Bloomfield as governor. Federalism in Xew 
Jersey received a hlow that well-nigh crnshed 
it in the death of Hamilton, killed hy Aaron 
Burr in that world-famous duel at Wee- 
hawken. After these episodes the anti- 
Federalists were well-nigh supreme until the 
second war with England. 

From the time of the adoption of the con- 
stitution, Xew Jersey tiu'iied her attention to 
state development on hroad lines. The manu- 
factures which Knghuid's unwise policy of re- 
pression had held in check began to take 
definite form, A number were established, 
which although in eom])arison with those of 
the present day would seem indeed insignificant, 
considering the time and circumstances, were 
noteworthy. In 1791. the Society for 
Kstablishing Useful Manufactures was formed 
at Paterson. Kxperiments were being con- 
ducted looking to the use of steam as a motive 
power, wliich we oi' the ])resent day are tryiiig 
to supplant with electricity. The Delaware 
and Karitan canal ])roject was receiving atten- 
tion, and improNcd highways were being con- 
structed in certain sections of the state. In 
fact, there was a decided demand for better 
transportation facilities. They had l<')eir birth 
one may almost say, in Xew Jersey. The 
honor of securing from any state legislature 
the first railroatl charter granted in jrVmerica 
belongs to Col. John Stevens. But this did not 
take place until ISl.j. although his efforts to 
induce public interest in the enterprise had been 
unremitting for se\eral years and perhaps we 
might say had culminated five years before in 
the publication of a pamphlet upon tlie ad- 
vantages of transportation by rail and steam 
over that of canal. But as usual, the colonel 
was in advance of his time. As progressive as 
was New Jersey she did not care to fully en- 
force his project, so fell back u]K)Ii canal trans- 
portation. But for a full account of this the 
reader is referred to an exhaustive article on 
"Railroads and Canals," by the lion. Charles 
Bradley, published in this volume. 

Then came America's second war with P^ing- 
land. Xew Jersey did not so fully endorse 
this as she had the Revolutionary war. The 
Federalists, who constituted the "Peace Party, ' 
secured .sufficient representation in the legis- 
lature to give them the balance of ])ower. and 
a Federalist oovernor was elected. Vet even 



undei' these conditions the state furnished her 
full (juota of troops and retained the place she 
had already won in the front I'aidvs for patri- 
otism. 

One of the important measui'es for which 
Xew Jersey was earnestly striving during the 
period of peace was, it is strange to say, given 
a decided impetus and advance by the war. This 
was better transportation facilities. The neces- 
sity for quick transportation i)oth for troops 
and supplies between Philadel])hia and X^ew 
^^)rk was (juickly recognized, and the wagon 
roads between Bordentown and Perth ^Vmboy, 
as well as between Trenton on her western 
boundary, were im])roved and the advantages 
of these routes demonstrated. 

At the clo.se of the War of 1S12. until the 
Civil war was u])on the country. Xew Jerseys 
advance in all depaitments was noteworthy, 
although the financial depressions of 1812 and 
1887 had been seriously felt by her. and the 
Mexican war was also somewhat of a drawback. 
Vet the most enthusia.stic of tiiose who had 
|)ro])hesied in regard to her future in manu- 
i'acturing. commerce, population, education and 
wealth were not disappointed, for she fulfilled 
more than they had dared claim oi- even hope 
she would. Railroads were rapidly built, fer- 
ries established, marsh lands were reclaimed, 
what had been forest sohtudes became hives 
of industry, manufactures were firndy es- 
tablished. New Jersey's commerce was widely 
recognized, her inventive genius was en- 
couraged, the public school system improved 
and extended (see the exhaustive article from 
the pen of our state su])erintendent. Mr. 
Charles J. Baxter), churches increased, the pres- 
ent great banking interests of the state were 
founded. i)ost-offices were opened and news- 
])apers — always the advance agents of ])ro- 
gressive civilization — were printed. The 
state constitution was ado])ted in 184'4. and the 
legal jjosition of mari'ied women was better 
defined 

Then in 18(i() came the Civil war. Every 
state north of the Mason and Dixon line, ex- 
cept X^ew Jersey, had several years before 
freed her slaves; but nearly 2.50 negroes were 
still held in bondage in brave little X^ew Jersey, 
a state that had so heroically striven for her 
own freedom. This was probably the cause 
of the strong "anti-war" party that formed 
at the outbreak of the rebellion; yet when the 
first call for troops came from the national 
government, X"ew .Jersey responded with both 
men and money. Eighty-eight thou.sand three

hundred and five enlisted men went forth from 
this state, while $2,8i*4'.385 was the amoinit 
she paid toward tlie sujjply. sup])()rt and trans- 
portation of her troops. ^Vell did she sustain 
the reputation for hravery earned in the 
Revolutionary days. The descendants of the 
heroes who fell at ^lonmoutJi and Trenton 
dropped hy the waysides and upon the battle- 
fields of the South. Monuments erected to the 
hravery of New Jersey troops and in com- 
memoration of tJieir hei'oism are scattered over 
the places where our heroes fell and in the 
various towns of ihe state. 

Since peace was declared New Jersey has 
turned her attention, as she did in the interim 
between the Revolutionary war and the Civil 
war, to proo-ress in every line of jjeaceful in- 
dustry. Her manufactures are famous the 
\\'()rl(l over, her protlucts are exported to every 



l)art of the ci\ilizeti world. New Jersey is a 
favored state of residence, and within her 
hordei's some of the wealthiest men in these 
L^nited States have reared palatial homes; 
here are the more modest dwellings of the less 
wealthy, but eciually enthusiastic in their love 
for "home" and all the word my mean; educa- 
tional institutions of all kinds have been en- 
dowed and supported. In agriculture and hor- 
ticulture s,he ranks first; pleasiu-e resorts line 
]ier coasts and beautify her mountain tops; 
her mining iiidustry has attained fair propor- 
tions, and her fisheries are famed the world over. 
In fact. New Jersey is rich in natural oppor- 
tunities, in history, in commerce, in manufac- 
tures, in wealth in educational facilities, and 
more than all else in the noble spirit that has 
ever animated Jier people.

NEW JEKSEY STATE CAPITOL 



New Jersey State Capitol 



An act of the leirislature, a])i)r()ve;l in Xo- 
veniber, 1790. estaljlislial the state eapitol at 
Trenton. Messrs. James Copper, Thomas Low- 
ery, James Kwin<>'. Maskell Kwin^', (ieorf^e 
Anderson. James Mott and Moore Fnrman 
were appointed commissiontrs to select, pm'- 
chase or accept as mncli land as was needed and 
to erect thereon snitahle hnildings i'or the use 
of t.he legislature. 

The committee selected the present site, con- 
taining some three and three- fourths acres of 
land, located on West State street — then Sec- 
ond State — and Delaware street. i)aying there- 
for £2.30 OS., or about -$l,-2,50. On this plot 
they erected a plain, unornamental and unartis- 
tic building of rough cast plaster at a cost of 
nearly £4.()0(). or about $•_>().()()(). 

In 179.5 an additional building, to be used as 
the office of the secretary of state and for t.'ie 
preservation of pidilic records, was ai)])rove(l 
by act of the legislature. More than £620. or 
about $3,100, was expended on the construction 
of it. 

In 18()() the legislature appointed commis- 
sioners to make certain s])ecified re])airs. to pro- 
vide and hang a suitable bell. etc. For a num- 
ber of years this bell was rung at the hour of all 
meetings. It was later discarded, and the 
American flag now floats from the tall staff 
whenever the legislature is in session and u])on 
all holidays and state occasions. 

In 18-t8 the front of the building was remod- 
eled, neat ])orticos were erected over I)oth the 
front and the rear entrances, two additions were 
built, one for the use of the clerks of the chan- 
cery court and the other for the use of the su- 
preme court, and the rotunda was erected. The 
grounds were also at this time enclosed by a 
neat fence, they were graded and laid out. and 
shade trees were planted. All this at a cost 
of $27,000. The commissioners in charge of 
these matters were Messi's. Samuel R. (rum- 
mere, Samuel R. Hamilton and Stacy A. Pax- 
ton. 

Appropriations were made I)\ the legislature 
in 1836. 1864 and 186.5 for the erection of addi- 
tions to be used foi- the state lilirary. executive 
chambers, etc. 

In 1871 INIessrs. Charles S. Olden, Thomas J. 
Strvker and Lewis Perrine were appointed by 



the legislature commissioners to look after the 
building of a suitable addition to be used as 
ajjartments for the senate, assembly, etc. Fifty 
thousand do'lars was a])])ro])riated for this ])ur- 
j)ose. and w hen the legislatin'e convened the fol- 
lowing year the buildings were ready for occu- 
pancy. 

In this yeai-, 1872, $120,000 was a])propria- 
ted for completing the building, $3,000 for flt- 
ting up the exec\itive chamber, $4,000 for 
fltting up the chancery and supreme court 
rooms, and $2,000 for fltting u]) the offices on 
the flrst floor of the east wing. 

In 1873, .$43,000 was appropriated by act of 
the legislature to be expended foi- alterations 
and imi)rovenients u])on the front of the build- 
ing, completing the re|)airs already under way 
and fltting up the library. 

In 187.3 the legislature api)ropriated $1.3. 000 
to be expended in building a new three-stoiy 
front to the building, for fltting up offlces on 
the second floor for the clerks of the court of 
chancery and tlie supreme court, for providing 
a siutable museimi for geological specimens 
and for the battle flags of Xew .Jersey volun- 
teer regiments carried in the Civil War. 

In 1885 the front portion of the buiUhng 
was destroyed by flre and the legislature a])j)ro- 
priated $j6,00o"for rebuilding it. In the fol- 
lowing year, 1880, an additional appropriation 
of $22.3".()00 was made. 

Three years later, in 1889, the new building 
was com])leted. The Renaissance style of 
architecture has ])een followed. Rectangular 
in form, the building has KK) feet frontage, is 
67 feet deep, 3 J stories in height, with a rotunda 
39 feeit across. This rotunda connects the new 
section of the eapitol with that portion of the 
old that was left standing. 

The walls are of solid, flreproof brick, faced 
wth Salem Oolitic from Indiana; the founda- 
tions and trimmings are of Xew Jersey free- 
stone, as are the door heads and ])ortieo. The 
latter, with the balcony, are su])])orted by mas- 
sive i)illars of ])olished granite. 

The apartments used for offlces are spacious 
and elegantly fltted up. A flre proof vault has 
been built in every one. These offices are on 
the flrst and second floors. The state li])rary 
()ccu])ies the entire thii'd flooi-. The apartments

that were formerly used for this purpose have 
been trausfornied into offices for the attorney- 
general, state superintendent of public instruc- 
tion and conmiissioner of bankino; and insiu'- 
ance. The geological museuni and state offices 
have been located in the new up])er story. 

In 1891 the legislature jjassed a joint resolu- 
tion that ])rovided for the erection of a new 
assembly chamber, and for necessary accommo- 
dations for the supreme court ami the court of 
errors and appeals, or for other state officers. 
The assembly chamber was built on the site of 
the former but very much larger. It has a 
frontage, on Delaware street of 120 feet and is 
75 feet deep. The architecture is harmonious 
with that of the main building. The interior 
is beautifully finished in Ti'enton tile, quartered 
oak and Italian statuary marble. It required 
an a])])roi)riation of $14'()..5()() to cover its ex- 
pense. The improved steam heating and venti- 
lating systems cost $2;),()0(). 

The building, with various apartments for 
u.se as a consultation room for the judges of the 
supreme court and the court of errors and ap- 



])eals, the goxernor's private room, the museum 
of the geological survey and other necessary 
offices, was erected at an expense of $84, 500. 

In 1900 the legislature appro])riated $9G,- 
000 for additions and alterations to the capitol. 
This included an electric light apparatus that 
cost $23,000. 

New Jersey now has a state capitol which, 
while far below that of some other states in cost, 
is yet a commodious and handsome structure, 
beautifully ai)jK)inted and elegantly fitted up 
w^ith every convenience and with the latest im- 
provements. Although Iniilt at various times, 
a charming architectural harmony has been ])re- 
served. The grounds are large and artistically 
laid out. Some of the wisest and most bene- 
ficial laws that govern any state in our Union 
have been framed within the walls of New Jer- 
sey's ca])itol building at Trenton. 

A new senate chamber was comjileted in 
.January 1904. and it is not only architecturally 
architecturally beautiful in design but affords 
am])le accommodation for that branch of the 
legislature.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, TRENTON, N J. 



82 



Tke Ne\v Jersey State Normal and Model Sckools 



By James M. Green, Pli. D. 



Tlie New Jersey State Normal and Model 
sehools were established by an aet of legisiatnre 
ill 1855. This act was the outgrowth of an 
influence in favor of si)ecial training for teaeh- 
inii' that had its institutional origin in Kheinis 
and Halle and that was slowly multiplying- 
])edaf>-ogical schools in the leadiny- countries of 
Europe and had taken root since IS.'Jl) in ]Mas- 
sachusetts, New York, Connecticut. JMichigan, 
and Peiinsylvam'a of our own country. 

The a<4itation for the establishment of a nor- 
mal school in New Jersey began to take form 
as early as 1828. It was ])rom])ted by the in- 
competency of the teachers and the weakness 
of the schools y-eneraily. 1 1 was largely ])romo- 
ted by a few men representing business and the 
several leading professions. Prominent among 
them were President Jo.!in Maclean, of Prince- 
ton College; Judge Richai'd S. Field, of 
Princeton; Principal John T. Clark of Xew 
Brunswick, and Kditor David Xaar, of Tren- 
ton: Princi])al David Cole, of Trenton: State 
Su])erintendent John II. Pliillips and Ciovern- 
or Rodnian M. Price. The instrumentalities 
used were essays, editorials, addresses, teachers' 
institutes and conventions. 

The act creating the school a]ii)ropriated 
$1 ().()()() for maintenance, but nothing for the 
erection of l)uildings. The school was to be 
governed by a board of trustees a])pointed by 
the (iovernor. two from each of the five con- 
gressional districts. 

The board assumed as its first important 
duty the securing- of a suitable location and 
building. It was thought that the desirability 
of having it near at hand would cause a number 
of municipalities to oft'er inducements for its 
location, consequently word was sent out invit- 
ing propositions. 

Proposals Mere received fi"om Paul Par- 
num. of Beverly, offering the use of a suitable 
building and of a suitable dwelling house for 
t.'ie princii)al of the school for five years, free 
of expense. 

The citizens of Orange offered to ))resent a 
building and lot and the use of a valuable li- 
brary and gratuitous lectures on music, archi- 
tecture and physic^logy. 



The citizens of Xew Briuisw ick ottered a lot 
of land and $8,()()() toward the buildings; also 
mathematical instruments and other a])parati 
for the use of the school, and the delivery of 
free courses of lectui-es in their several depart- 
ments by the ])rofessors of Rutgers College. 

Individuals of Princeton and Pennuigton 
offered building lots. 

Propositions made by the ])eoi)le of Tren- 
ton were, in view of all considerations, deemed 
of greater advantage than any that were offer- 
ed elsewhere; hence it was decided to locate the 
school at this ])()int. 

The board thereupon agreed to lease from 
certain citizens of Trenton a lot two hundred 
feet s([uare on Clinton avenue; a school build- 
ing A\as ei-ected thereon at a cost not to exceed 
$17,500. the same to be practically rent free 
for five years, at the end of Avhich time, or at 
any date jn-evious. the state woidd have the 
privilege of purchasing the i)roperty at its act- 
ual cost. A condition of the lease recjuired that 
the ])lans for the building should have the a])- 
l)roval of the board. This condition not only 
anticipated the ])urchase of the buildings by 
the state, but a'so the infl\ience of the buildings 
on subsequent school architecture. 

The corner-stone of the first or normal 
school building was laid with a])i)ropriate cere- 
monies by Governor Price. October !), 1855. 
The building was dedicated July 17, 185(5. 

Immediately after it was decided to locate 
the normal .school in Trenton, Paul Farnum 
])roi)osed to estai)lish at Beverly a high class 
school pre])aratory to the norma', and ott'ere 1 
to erect a building and present it to the state 
with an endowment of .$20,000. on condition 
that the state would assume the care of the 
school under the State Board of Education and 
annually ai)])ro])riate a sum e(|ual to the inter- 
est of tile fund invested. This proposition was 
accepted and the building was erected and ded- 
icated October 8. 1858. 

^Vlieii the new normal school building was 
opened two rooms were set aside in it for a 
model school designed for obsei-vation and 
training on the jiart of the normal pui)ils. The 
enrollment in this school grew so rapidly that it 



83

soon became apparent tJiat it would be neces- 
sary to bave a separate huilcbiig for it. Aeeord- 
ingh', in 18.57, a number of citizens proposed 
to ])urcbase <»r()un(l adjoiniii<>- tliat on wbicb 
tbe normal scbool was located and erect a suit- 
able building, the total cost not to exceed 
$.'}().000. A plot of ground 800 by 220 feet 
adjoining tJie grountls of the normal school was 
secured, a building erected on plans approved 
by tbe board of trustees and dedicated in 18.58. 

In 18t)5, authorized by an act of the legis- 
lature, the state purchased the two buildings 
and their grounds, which had cost their pro- 
moters not less than -$01,000, for the suiJj of 
.%38,000. 

Previous to 18(>4. the students from a dis- 
tance attending the schools were obliged to se- 
ciu-e board at private houses in the city. This 
custom was attended with a great deal of incon- 
venience and uncertainty. During this year 
a number of citizens formed an association and 
ojjcned a boarding hall on the grounds oppo- 
site the schools. It was incorjiorated by an act 
of the legislature passed March 22, 1865, un- 
der the title of the Normal School Boarding 
House Association. This company erected a 
building on the opposite side of the street from 
the schools for female ])upils. where board 
could be procured, practically at cost. The 
board of trustees agreed to pay this corpor- 
ation $1,250 per anmnn for foin- years, which 
sum or sums should go on account of the pur- 
chase money if the state at any time during 
said period should elect to purchase the said 
buikhng at cost, and in addition to this they 
agreed to pay the association a further sinn per 
annum equal to 6 per centum ujjon the cost of 
the buildings and the exijcnse incurred in keep- 
ing them in repair. The trustees purchased 
the property belonging to this association by 
authority of an act of the legislature passed 
February 27, 1867, for the sum of $32,000. of 
which sum $30,000 of the total amount less 
what had been ])ai(l to this company iTi annual 
installments was left on mortgage. 

In 1873. under aiitiiority of a supplement to 
the act of 1867, the hoard purchased additional 
property, including a boys" hall, for $39,000, 
the entire amount being secured by mortgage. 
Thus it a])]>ears that the total ])urchase price of 
the boarding hall building and grounds was 
$71,000. Tbe trustees assumed this debt, to 
gether with the furnishing of the halls, and 
began its gradual reduction by such sums as 
they might save annually from their receipts 
from tuition in the model school and from room 



rentals. In 1879 the debt had been reduced to 
$30,000, when, by an appropriation made by 
the legislature, it was cancelled. Thus, for 
$68,000 direct a])i)ropriation. the state became 
possessed. of a school and boarding hall proper- 
ty that had cost the energetic friends of these 
institutions $122,000, and Trenton had redeem- 
ed its ])ledge in inducing the location of the in- 
stitution within its boundaries. 

WHiile tlie school buildings met the demands 
of the time in which they were built, they were 
not equipjK'd w ith laboratory or manual train- 
ing facilities in keeping with the development 
of educational thought and 2)ractice, and with 
the change of administration in 1889. it became 
a])i)arent that if changed educational condi- 
tions were to be met it would be necessary to 
increase the buildings. This matter was pre- 
sented to the legislature of 1890, and an ap- 
propriation of $1.0,000 was granted to erect a 
building connecting the normal and model 
buildings, in which new structure might be 
Icjcated an auditorimn and suitable modern lab- 
oratories for the various branches of science 
and manual training; also a librarv. Oromid 
was broken for this new structure October 28, 
1890. and the new building was completed in 
time for the opening of the fall term of the 
following year. 

The legislature of 1891 granted an appro- 
])riation of $8,000 for furnishing this new 
Iniilding. The legislature of 1893 appropria- 
ted $12,000 for the building of a new gym- 
nasium, and the legislature of 1894 appropria- 
ted $10,000 for the furnishing of this new gym- 
nasium and dividing the former gymnasium 
into classrooms and furnishing these rooms. 
These latter approjiriations brought the total 
cost to the state for new buildings and grounds 
u]) to $138,000. 

Tbe board has each year, in calculating the 
expenses for the boarding halls, allowed a 
small margin as protection against a shut dowTi 
in case of the breaking out of contagious dis- 
eases. \Vlien such a misfortune has not visited 
them they have appro])riated this small margin 
to the develo])ment of the halls and iiave thus 
added one new wing and purchased a prin- 
cipal's residence and a house and lot adjoining 
the grounds for the still further development 
of the |)lant. The school buildings have been 
kept in repair by the annual appropriations for 
this account by the legislature, the account in 
the year 1897 including $25,000 for an im- 
proved system of ventilation, and in 1902 
$10,000 for an independent electric lighting"

plant. The l)oar(]iii,<>- lialls heretofore have 
not heen hirge enough to accommodate 
the proportion of hoarders to tliat of day stn- 
dents in the school, and i'or some ten years the 
state hoard has rented houses to increase its ac- 
connnodation. The le<>ishiture of 19()4< ap])ro- 
priated $4(),()0() for the huikhng of an adchtion- 
al wing to the halls. The plans for this in- 
creased hnilding have lieen ado])ted and the 
huilding is near completion. It is expected that 
when this new structiu'c is tinished the arrange- 
ments for accommodating a balanced propor- 
tion of day students and hoarders will have 
been estahlished. 

The total present valuation of the property 
due to the state appropriation, the careful 
economic management of the boai-d, and the 
gradual advance in the value of real estate, the 
jjroperty heing located in what is now nearly 
the geographical center of the city, is estimated 
at $47.5,000. 

The normal school was opened Oct. 1. 18.3.>, 
in a dwelling house rented temi)orarily for the 
purpose. The registration at the beginning 
was 1.5 pupils which registration increased to 
Hi during the year. The enrollment thereafter 
showed a fairly steady increase until it reached 
between two hundred and three hundred lU 
1870. It then held an average of about 2.50 
until 1881). when it began a very rapid rise, 
reaching 7'37 in 18i)8. 

Until this time the entrance examinations 
had been held at the time of the opening of the 
term, making it difficult to regulate the num- 
ber that could be received in the school. x\.fter 
this date the entrance emaxinations for the fall 
term were fixed in June and the standard of 
the school sharply raised, gradually reducing 
the annual enrollment to its present figin-es, 
about ,52.5, a number the school can very readily 
accommodate. 

The school has graduated in all 3,494 teach- 
ers, al)out 1, ()()() of whom aiv still teaching in 
the state. There should be added to this num- 
ber quite a good many persons who entered 
the school and were ol)lige(l to leave before 
they could complete the lull course, but who 
have made successful teachers. The graduates 
are represented in all grades of positions in- 
cluding county and city superintendents, prin- 
cipals, heads of departments, specialists and 
grade teachers. 

The founders of the school defined its pur- 
pose to be twofold, namely, to furnish a high 
education for its pupils and to train them in 



the art of teaching. This definition was \he 
was the ex])ression of a very clear estimate of 
the practical needs of that early time. The 
educational standards of the state were low 
and desultory. If these standards were to be 
raised it was necessary that the work of instruc- 
tion should be in the hands of those who were 
themselves educated. xVcademies of the state 
were scarce; they furnished a very meagre edu- 
cation, and the public schools offered only the 
most rudimentary beginnings. The boai-d of 
tiustees and the faculty seemed to undei-stand 
the force of suiting the institution to the needs 
of its time, leather than to some fanciful deal 
of what a professional school should be. 

The need for scholarships was so emphatic 
that for a term of years it practically crowded 
out very much of method work, but witii the 
increased efHciency of the public school system 
it became ])ossible in due time to restore the ped- 
agogical phase to its proper place. This res- 
toration was made at the time of the beginning 
of the increased attendance in 1889. 

The board have constantly set as the ulti- 
mate standard of admission to the school grad- 
uation from a full high school course, but the 
territorial conditions of the state and the school 
conditions were such that it was necessary to 
work to this standard slowly if a large ])()rtion 
of the territory would not be alienated. 

At the present time two courses of study 
are maintained: the one desiii'iied for <>radu- 
ates of full four years' high school coui'ses; the 
other for those who in the more irregularly 
graded high schools of the townships liave done 
the eijuivalent of three years of high school 
work. This latter class must reach the same 
standard as those of the two years' course upon 
graduation. The school further offers an ad- 
vanced course of one year and a special kinder- 
garten course. Kach of the courses has in it 
a certain Jiumber of required units, also a cer- 
tain number of elective units, thus affording 
an opportunity for a pliability that cultivates 
specialization. It has among its graduates, 
for instance, special teachers of dra\\ing, music, 
manual training, etc. 

At the beginning of the school's history 
diplomas were not granted until the graduates 
had taught successfully for six months. TJiis 
teaching might be done either before the jier- 
son entered the normal school or after her 
graduation. 

In 1807, a temjjorary license for one year, 
good in any ])art of the state, was granted upon 
graduation: but when the diploma was given.

the tem])niarv license was made a third grade 
state certificate good for four years. 

In 1871 a state certificate was granted with 
the (Hplonia on examination for gnuhiation. 
During this year the curricuhun was divided 
into two covn-ses, one known as the e'ementary 
or two years' course; the otlier as the advanceil 
state certificate were granted to all who had 
or three years' course. In 1873 a diploma and 
state certificate were granted to all who hsid 
given satisfactory evidence of success in prac- 
tice teaching in the model school. In 1874' 
the third grade state certificate was granted ti) 
the graduates of the elementary course, and a 
second grade state certificate to g-raduates of 
the advanced course with the diploma of the 
schot)l. In 1886 the rule was passed renewing 
the certificates upon their e\])iration ^\itho:'t 
examination. 

In 181)0 the elementary or two years' coin'.e 
was abolished, and the second grade state cer- 
tificate, good for ten years and renewable, was 
granted with the diploma. In 1895 a life cer- 
tificate was grante 1 u])()ii gi-aduation. In 
18!>!> the school returned to the custom of 
granting a certificate good for ten years, upon 
graduatioii, but which certificate might be re- 
newed for life after two years of successful ex- 
perience. This system is still in vogue, except 
for those who graduate from the foiu'th year 
course. To these latter a life certificate is 
given upon graduation. 

The certificates of the school are licenses to 
teach anywhere in the state, and are endorsed 
by the different states of the Union, practical- 
ly ■\\ithout exception, so that they are in reality 
certificates good to teach anywhere in the 
country. 

Great care has been exercised in choosing 
the teachers for the normal and model schools. 
The faculty now numbers 54, and has on its 
roll graduates of 16 different colleges and uni- 
versities, 1-1 different state normal schools and 
residents of 9 different states and representa- 
tives of foiu' coinitries. A number of tlie 
members of the faculty are authors of promi- 
nence and a variety of works. INIany of its 
members are known as essayists and speakers 
at institutes and teachers' conventions. The 
facult\- have alway made it a ])ractice to take 
an active nart in all that tended to build u]) 
the educational system of the state as a whole 
as well as in that which related purely to the 
normal school. 

The annual cost of maintenance, placed at 
$1(),()()() in the beginning, is now $.)(),000 plus 
the earnings of the model school, \\hich, with 



an enrollment of about 57o. ai-e at present 
close to $26,000. 

The educational motto of the school is the 
best selection of subject matter considered 
from the educational point of \'iew as well as 
from its actual relations to practical life prob- 
lems, and the best adaptation of this matter to 
the mental conditions of the pupil. It can be 
readily seen that the fulfillment of this motto 
necessarily calls for high standai-ds of educa- 
tion on the part of the students, and a thorough 
and constant investigation into the needs of 
the state, a standai-d which must inspire the 
confidence of the commonwealth. 

The model school may be described as the 
handmaiden of the normal school. It is the 
embodiment in practice of that which is taught 
as theory in the normal. From the beginning' 
it assumed a higher standard than that usual in 
the country to institutions of this class, namely, 
a standard extending from first primary to col- 
lege, preparation, or, in other \\ords, including 
a full, high school academic course. The pur- 
l)ose of this school Avas regarded as twofold; 
the fii'st being its direct influence upon the 
normal pupils, and second its example in the 
school organization of the state. Hence, from 
the first the school has maintained a standard 
which has commanded the respect of the people 
and the patronage of a large territory. It soon 
practically drew to itself a 1 the pay-school pat- 
ronage of Trenton and the immediate vicinity 
and became self-supporting; it remains so to 
the i)resent time. Its graduates have entered 
with distinction upon the various experiences 
to which they have gone. Seventy per cent, 
of those entering college within the past fifteen 
years have taken honors, and those who have 
entered other pursuits have done as well. 

The schools as a whole are complete in tJieir 
institutional life. 

That exjjerience which comes to one A\ho 
goes away from home to attend a college or 
seminary is the experience which comes to those 
who attend this institution. The fact that the 
normal students are practically paralleling 
college life in the point of maturity for two 
and three years and that the boarders in the 
model school are paralleling the educational 
experience of our leading seminaries, makes 
an institutional experience which is widening, 
fully akin to that so highly prized in any of 
our institutions of broader learniu"-. These 
schools are strongly entrenched in the affec- 
tions of the commonwealth, and as thev have

The S 



Avamp 



Angel 



The Swamp Angel, located at the north- 
eastern corner of the camjnis of the state 
schools, is an eight-inch two hundred pound 
Parrott riHe gun, which was cast at the West 
Point foundry in 18(53 and used in bombard- 
ing the city of Charleston diu-ing the Civil 
^\^ar. 

The Federal army, from its position in the 
harbor, was unable to reach the city wtli a sliell 
and it was to accomplish this purpose that the 
giHi was set u]) in a marsh in a position about 
7,U()() yards from the city. It was at once 
chi'istened by the soldiers "The Swamp An- 
gel." On the thirty-sixth discharge, the breech 
of the aim, lust behind the vent, blew out of 
its jacket, thus rendering it useless. It was 
sold for old metal, sent to Trenton to be melted, 
M'here it was identified and set upon a granite 
monument at the location before mentioned. 

The construction of this battery was con- 
sidered one of the most important engineering 
operations performed by either army during 
the war, and the old gun is one of the most con- 
spicuous and interesting objects of historic 
Trenton. Standing as it now does on the 
beautiful grounds of the State Normal School, 
it is a constant reminder of one of the events in 
whose light crafts might be in danger of 
recent history.

It is impossible to determine when light- 
houses were first employed, hut we know that 
at least three hundred years before Christ. 
Ptolemy Soter constructed one at Alexandria, 
Egj'pt. The earliest lighthouses, or perhaps 
we should say the embryo lighthouses, of which 
we have any record, were simply beacon tires 
built on a point of land as a guide to friends 
whose light crafts might be in danger of 
wreckage. I ^ater towers were erected on which 
fires were kept burning. 

After a season the beacon fires built by in- 
dividuals for the guidance of their friends at 
sea were followed by seacoast villagers, making 
the matter a municipal affair. An old record 
of the town of Hull, ^lass., shows that in 
1674 one shilling and six pence was paid by the 
town "for making balls of ])itch and ocum" 
to be used in lighting the beacon. 

Later the individual states took charge of 
the matter. In 17H!> the nationr.l government 
brought within its jurisdiction all the light- 
houses on the coast. 

The first act of Congress relating to light- 
houses was passed August 7, 1789. It provided 
"all expenses shall accrue from and after the 
1.5th day of August, 1789, in the necessary 
sup])ort, maintenance and repairs of all light- 
houses, beacons, buoys and public piers placed, 
erected or sunk before the jnissng of this act, 
at the entrance of or within any bay, inlet, 
harbor or port of the United States, for render' 
ing the navigation thereof easy and safe, .shall 
be defrayed out of the Treasm-y of the United 
States." 

Seven months later, ]March 20, 1790, the 
same law was reenacted, but with a ])roviso 
that "none of the said expenses shall continue 
to be so defrayed by the Ignited States after 
the expiration of one year from the day afore- 
said, imless such lighthouses, beacons, buoys 
and public piers shall in the meantime be ceded 
to and vested in the United States by the 
state or states respectively in which the same 
lie, together ^\•ith the lands and tenements 
thereunto lielonging and together with the ju- 
risdiction of the same." 

New Jersey gave to the federal government 
in the year 1800 a plot of nearly four acres of 
land in ^Monmouth county on which the famed 
Sandy Hook lighthouse was erected; and in 



ouses 

speaking of New Jersey's prominence in the 
matter of lighthouses upon her coast, we must 
not forget that the electric light of Xavesink, 
which is .53 feet Jiigh and erected on land 19.5 
feet above sea level, is the first light from these 
United States of America that welcomes the 
ocean voyager whose good ship is making for 
the harbor of New York. 

It has been well said that a maritime nation's 
standard of civilization may be gauged by the 
care with which it lights its coast. In this im- 
l)orta7it ])ai-ticu]ai- the T/nited States, in its 
lighthouse admini.stration, probably leads all 
other nations. Ever since the erection and 
care of these imi)ortant safety beacons have 
been in charge of our government the sup])ort 
has been generous. In fact, the government 
believes that all along her coast lines lights 
should be set so closely together that the areas 
of visibility shall overlap, so that a vessel near 
the coast need never be out of siovht of a lie'ht. 
The prophecy has lieen made that such will be 
the case, and it has excellent prospect of ful- 
fillment, for it is probable that the day will 
come when every foot (^f our sea coast w\\\ be 
defined from end to end by a band of light at 
night and well marked in the day by beacons 
and buoys. 

Congress has been liberal in her maintenance 
of aids to navigation; in a single session the 
government has ajjprojjriated sutRcient money 
to build 40 new light and 10 foo- siti'iial 
stations. 

Our lighthouse system is now in cliarge 
of the Department of Commerce and Lal)or 
of the government. The Uighthouse Board 
consists of the Secretary of Commerce and 
I^abor, who is dr officio president of the board, 
three officers of the United States navy, three 
officers of the Ignited States engineering corps 
and two civilians who must be scientific men of 
high attainment. 

This board has found by experience that the 
most reliable keepers for lighthouses are found 
among the ranks of \eteran sailors or soldiers. 
These men have been inured to hardshps and 
perhaps better than any other class understand 
the necessity for safely guarding luuiian life. 

But all beacon lights are not erected on 
lighthouses, which are built either on points

of land, occasionally on a rocky nearby island, 
or in the water on snl)nK'r<>-ed reefs or shoals. 
Light vessels are also used, but stationed at 
jwints where it would l)e inipraetieable or im- 
possible to Iniild lighthouses. These are usu- 
ally located far out at sea or near tlie entrance 
to some iiarbor which vessels must safely tind 
eutrance to, or whence they must secure safe 
dei)arture. These vessels are of special con- 
struction ;the hulls are built unusually strong,as 
are the tall masts tVom which the beacon lights 
are suspended. \Miene\er possible they ai'e 
provided with fog signals, which, at least in 
the Ignited States, are usuidly steam whistles. 
In addition to this a loud tone bell is always 
a part of a light vessel's e(jui])ment — one that 
can l)e rung by hand in case the more powerful 
signal should be disabled. 

A buoy, a floating body, as its name would 
indicate, is used to mark channels and danger- 
ous submerged points. It is made of wood 
or iron and in the latter case is hol'ow. Buoys 
are of various sha])es, sizes and colors; a star- 
board buoy, or one which a vessel must pass on 
the starboard (rig'ht-hand) side upon entering 
a port, is painted red. A port buoy, or one that 
a vessel must pass on the port side, is black; 
then we have buoys painted in strij^es, red and 
bhick, horizontal, marking danger obstructions; 
black and white perjjendicular stri])es, mid- 
channel or fairway buoys; lighted buoj's; 
whistling buoys and bell buoys. 

A bell buoy sounds its warning notes Avith 
greater or less freciuency according to the vio- 
lence of the waves, their motion causing the 
cla])per to vibrate. 

In lighthouses the (juality and kind of light 
is determined both by the distance from which 
it is to be seen and the character of the light 
which is to be sliown. The ocean mariner 
coasting- along our shores is liable to determine 
])y the light shown in what ])art of the United 
States he is. 

When the United States took from the vari- 
ous states of the comitry the lighthouses into 
its own kee])ing, there were .).) lighthouses on 
the coast of the United States; now there are 
811 — a])out one-eighth of all the lighthouses 
in the world. One of the principal lighthouses 
of the world was over twenty-five years in 
Iniilding. 

In 1791 the yearly a])propriation l)y our 
government was $22,591 ; 99 years later, in 
1890. it had increased to $8..)03.901. 

The first two lighthouses in this country 
were illuminated l)y tallow candles; then fish 



oil was used in spider lamps, with solid wicks, 
sus])en(led from the roofs by iron chains; 
sperm oil was introduced in 1812; colza or ra])e 
seed oil in 18(12; lard oil was first employed in 
18()7 or 18(>8, but coal oil has been in general 
use in this country since about 1878; gas is 
used only to a limited extent. 

There are several varieties of jiglits in our 
service, those of the first-class being estahlislied 
to give warning of the approach to land, and 
the others being sul)sidiary. to mark lieiullands 
and shoals in ])assing rivers and lakes. There 
are hgbts of difi^erent characteristics used to 
enable mariners to distinguish liglithouses 
apart; foi- a similar reason light vessels have 
their numbers and names painted on their sides. 

The rules are that the lamps of the light- 
houses and light vessels must be lighted ])unc- 
tually at .sunset, daily, and must be ke])t burn- 
ing brightly, free from smoke and at their 
greatest attainable heights, during each entire 
night, from sunset to sunrise. Lighthouses, 
light vessels, buoys, beacons, fog signals, ma- 
chine sho])s and other property controlled by 
the lighthouse board are worth between .$-t(),- 
()()(),()()() an<l $o().()0(),000. The whole of this 
is a free gift of the American ])eo])le to the 
world. Kach keeper is required to enter in 
a journal daily all events of importance oc- 
curring in and near his station, and also to keep 
a table of the expenditure of oil and other 
stoi-es. 

Thus our government protects as far as ])os- 
sible with its warning an.d helpful signals and 
lights from the danger of its rocky coast and 
the ];)erils that always attend those who sad 
upon the water;;|. Prol)ably no other coast 
varies as much in formation as that of our 
our country. iVmong the lighthouses and 
lightships of Xew Jersey are the following: 

Barnegat liight Station: Tower, 1.50 feet 
high. A first-oi'dci- flashing white light: inter-

The Life bavmg bervice m Ne\v Jersey 



By General S. I. KimDall 



It is a matter of pride to the citizens of Xew 
Jersey that the first boathouses estabhshed 
for hfe-saving jnirposes by the United States 
government were located upon the shores of 
their state, and that prominent men of the state 
in official positions were among' the foremost 
in advocating efficient protection of Hfe and 
property from sliijj^^recked vessels, and liave 
always been found among the most earnest 
co-workers for the improvement of the service. 

Prior to 18-18, various local associations for 
life-saving purposes were formed in some of 
the states, most of them short lived. The Mas- 
sachusetts Humane Society, however, wliicli 
was organized in 178(i, established houses of 
refuge in 1780 on portions of tiie JNIassachu- 
setts coast A\here the ship\\recked might find 
shelter in case they slundd be so fortunate as 
to reach the land. In 1807, the same society 
began placing lifel)oats on ])ortions of tliat 
coast, the first having been located at Cohasset. 

This society is still in existence and main- 
tains a considerable num1)er of stations. 

In 1847, Hon. Ilobcrt McClelland, of ^Nlich- 
igan, chairman of the Committee of Com- 
merce, House of Re])i'esentatives, offered an 
amendment to the liglithouse bill, tlien under 
consideration, making an appropriation of 
$.5,000 for furnishing lighthouses on the At- 
lantic coast with the means of rendering as- 
sistance to shijjwrecked mariners. This bill 
became a law on the 3d of ]March, 1847, but 
after the money liad lain in the treasiu-y for 
something like two years, it was ex])ended l)y 
due authority under tJie auspices of the Hu- 
mane Society of ^Massachusetts. Tliis was the 
first appro])riation made by the United States 
for life-.saving purposes, but Mr. ^McClelland 
was by no means the first to suggest such ac- 
tion, which was previously strongly advocated 
by the IMessrs. Blunt, of Xew York city, and 
I>ieutenants William D. Porter, ThorntoTi D. 
Jenkins and Kicliard Bache. wJiile comiected 
with the lighthouse establishment. 

On August 3, 1848. Representative in Con- 
gress William A. Xewell, of Xew Jersey, 
made an argument in behalf of an amendment 
offered by him to tlie lighthouse bill, then 



pending, providing for an appropriation of 
$10,000 for life-saving ])nrposes, to be ex- 
])ended on the coast Iving between Sandy 
Hook and Uittle Egg Harbor. This bill be- 
came a law on August 14, and was the second 
appropriation for life-saving purposes made 
by the general government, and the first for 
the X^ew Jersey coast. In pursuance of the act, 
eight boathouses were located and e(iuii)])ed 
between the points named, each building being 
16 1iy 28 feet. The location, erection, and 
e«|uipment were under the direction of Captain 
Douglass Ottinger, of the revenue marine 
(now the revenue cutter service), with whom 
a committee of the X^'ew York Board of Un- 
derwi'iters cordially co-operated. Among tJlie 
xarious articles ])laced in the stations were one 
metallic surfboat witli aii- chambers and nec- 
essary outfit, one metallic life car with its 
pro])er api)urtenances, one iron e])rouvette 
nujrtar, ten round shot with spiral wire attach- 
ment for the purpose of fastening to them tlie 
shot-line to be fired over the wreck, and such 
other subsidiary ap])liances as were necessary. 

On JMarch 3, 1849, another ap]n-o])riation, 
this time of $-20,0()(), which Mr. Xewell was 
instrumental in obtaining, was made by Con- 
gress to be expended, as was the preceding, 
under the direction of an officer of the revenue 
marine. Ijieut. John ]Mc(iowan was detailed 
to superintend the expenditure of this sum, 
which was limited l)y law to that part of the 
coast lying between IJttle Egg Harbor and 
Cape ]May. He had the aid and co-operation 
of the Philadelphia Board of Underwriters. 

A like sum \v'as appro|)riated by the same 
act for ])lacing surfboats, ]ifel)oats, etc., on the 
coasts of the Ignited States, generally. Under 
the latter ])rovision eight boathouses were 
erected and ecjuiijped between ^lontauk Point 
and Coney Island on the outer shore of Long 
Island, one on Fisher's Island and one at 
Eaton's X^^eck on I^ong Island Sound. From 
the sum appi'ojjriated to the Xew Jersey coast, 
six were erected, and all were furnislied witli 
appliances as above stated. Thus it appears 
that the incejjtion of the government life- 
saving establishment was nearly simidtaneous

on both the New Jersey and Long- Island 
coasts, flanking the gate\\ay to New York har- 
bor and the metropohs of the western world. 

The stations were manned only on oeea.sions 
of disaster, and then by volunteers gathered 
from the siirfsiiore 2)eople. These brave men 
saved many lives and much property during 
the season ()f 1849-50. On Janujiry 12, 18;5(), 
a furious storm swept the Xew Jersey coast, 
and about one o'clock in the moi'uing east on 
shore at Scjuan Ueaeh the liritish shi]) "Ayr- 
.shire," which carried a large number of ])ersoi!S 
During the previous twenty-four hours the 
wind blew with almost hurricane force, and 
amid a thick snowstorm the ship struck. WitJi- 
in an hour or two thereafter the mortar, shot, 
shotline and line car were taken to the beach, 
and as soon as possible a ball and line were 
fired over the wreck. The car was put in opera- 
tion and made more than fifty tri])S, conveying 
201 persons in entire safety to the land.througb 
a surf which ran so high that no boat coidd 
have lived in it. This was the first occasion 
on which the life car was used, and its great 
value as a part of the life-saving equipment 
was clearl}' demonstrated. 

Captain Ottinger ( in charge of the boat- 
houses), naturally enough, was very proud of 
the success of the car which he claimed as his 
invention. ]\Ir. Joseph Francis, who manu- 
factured the car, strenuously disputed the 
claim, and tiie car seems to have become gen- 
erally known by the latter's name. Captain 
Ottinger's title, however, was recognized by 
the House of Representatives, which, through 
the Committee on Commerce, made an exami- 
nation into the facts. This connnittee reported 
a blil in 18i59 that passed both houses directing 
the ))ayment to Ca])tain Ottinger of $10,000 
"in full com])ensation for the use of his inven- 
tion of the life car or surf car by the United 
States, and also to enable him further to test 
the ])ractical)ility of adapting such cars to the 
rescue of ])assengers and crews during violent 
gales at sea." By a subsc(iuent act of Con- 
gress (1887). ^Ir. Fi-ancis was awarded a 
medal of honor for the same invention. To 
whom the credit is really due seems to be not 
certaiidy known, even at this day, and it is 
])robably lunv too late to settle the matter. 

Dui'ing the two or three years which follow- 
ed, some good work was performed by the 
volunteer crews along the Xew Jersey shore; 
but on "Slay l.j, 18.'54', a terrible wreck occurred 
when the ship "I'owhatan" stranded in the 
vicinity of T>ong lieach, and some 300 persons 



lost their lives, not one having been saved. The 
vessel lay, it is said, within less than a hundred 
yards of the shore. She struck during the 
niglit, but it was not known in the vicinity of 
Long lieacJi station, whence aid might have 
been expected, until two o'clock the following- 
afternoon; and it was five o'clock before a 
crew was ready to launch the boat. It was 
deemed too late then to undertake the journey, 
and further action was delayed until morning, 
thirty hours aftei- the ship had stranded, so 
that, in fact, when the life-sa\'ing men arrived 
abreast of the wreck all was over. No one 
blamed any individual for the terrible result 
w Iiich was plainly due to lack of properly lo- 
cated stations sufficiently near together and of 
a thoroughly organized "service. This most 
pitifid catastrophe at once aroused public in- 
terest to white heat. 

About the same time a similar disa.ster, ex- 
cept that no loss of life occurred, served to 
emphasize the situation. This was the wreck 
on Long- Beach of the "Underwriter," carry- 
ing 500 passengers, whose lives were saved 
only by the fact that she was a very substantial 
vessel and withstood the storm until a rescue 
was effected al'tei- the lapse of a long time. A 
large part of the day was spent in fruitless en- 
deavors to throw a line on board by means of 
the mortar; the spiral wire and line broke sev- 
eral times and finally the mortar burst, making 
the use of the car impossible. 

The sid)iect of impro\'ed methods was now 
earnestly debated, and suggestions were made 
regarding the possibility of providing better 
apparatus, of taking proper care of that al- 
ready in use, of the appointment of custodians 
for the pro])erty who should have cJiarge of 
operations at wrecks, of an increase in the 
number of life-saving stations, etc. Prior to 
this a bill had ])een reported in the Senate ]jro- 
viding for some reforms and was ])assed by 
that tody. b\it failed of action in the House 
before adjournment. At the next session this 
bill, with the memoiy of recent disasters fresh 
in mind, was again introduced. It passed l)oth 
houses and became a law on the 14tli of De- 
cember, 1854, but not without considerable op- 
position in the House, where there were 45 
votes recorded in the negative against 12(5 in 
its favor. This act authorized the secretary of 
the treasury to establish additional stations on 
the coast of Ivong' Island and New Jersey, to 
change the location of existing ones, to make 
such repairs and supplj' such a])paratus, etc..

at a compensation of $1,500 each, per annum, 
and to appoint a kee])er for each station witJi a 
salary of $200 per annum. No crews were 
authorized, and there was no ])r()vision for the 
])ayment of tlie vohmteers who sliould man the 
l)oats. 

The appointments having heen made as re- 
quired under the law, a degree of responsibility 
was established which residted in decided im- 
provement in the efticiency of the stations; but 
still the administration of the service did not 
neai'ly reach the stajidard due to the iinjxirtance 
of the interests affected. Xo regulations were 
provided; the officers were not strictly held to 
accountal)ility with regard to their duties or 
the care of the property intrusted to their keep- 
ing, and records of disasters were not required 
to be kept, or reports fui-nished to the depart- 
ment. So that as a matter of fact, the depart- 
ment had little knowledge of affairs at the 
stations and exercised scarcely any control over 
them. 

The matter of tlie enq)lnynient of perma- 
nent crews was a subject of occasional discus- 
sion, but none was provided until 1870, when 
they were authorized at alternate stations to 
the number of six men at $4<0 per month for 
three months — December 15 to JNIarch 15. It 
appears that in 18()!) the Hon. Charles Ilaight, 
of New Jersey, moved an amendment to an 
ai)pr()])riation bill providing for the employ- 
ment of crews at all stations. It Mas urged 
with force, but defeated. The Hon. Samuel 
S. Cox, however, ofFei-ed a substitute contain- 
ing the provision above mentioned, and on the 
15th of July. 1870, it became a law. 

During the entire jjreceding period, from 
18i8 to the winter of 1870-71, dependence rest- 
ed upon such volunteers as might be gathered 
from time to time on occasions of disaster, 
without previous t)pportimity of drilling to- 
gether as crew^s, and with no recognized lawful 
superior officer to direct and command opera- 
tions. However, they bravely accomplished 
all that could be expected under the adverse 
circumstances, with the iiiade(|uate means af- 
forded. These were the conditions at the close 
of what may be termed the first period of life- 
saving affairs. 

The second period begins with the present 
system, which was oi-ganized under act of Con- 
gress approved April 20. 1871. In Februarj' 



of that year tlie present general superinten- 
tlent of the life-saving service took charge of 
the revenue marine division of the treasury 
department, under the supervision of which 
the life-saving l)oathonses were maintained. 
He soon discovered tlie unsatisfactory status 
of affairs, and upon his I'ecommendation tJie 
secretary of the treasury recjuested of Congress 
an appropriation of $200,000, with authority 
to employ crews of experienced surf men at 
such stations and for such periods as might be 
deemed necessary and proper. The act of 
A])ril 20, which followed, contained these pro- 
visions, and Captain Faunce, of the revenue 
marine, was immediately dispatched to tiie 
coasts of Long Island and New Jersey to 
make a thoroug-h examination of the service 
there. He reported that most of the stations 
wei-e too remote from one another, that the 
buildings were dilapidated, many so far gone 
as to be worthless, and that all were in need of 
extensive re])airs as well as enlargement. They 
also showed neglect and in some instances mis- 
use. The life-saving ap2)aratus was rusty and 
im])erf'ect; some of it was ruined; the most nec- 
essary things were often wanting, such as 
powder, rockets, shot lines and shovels. There 
were stations at which no portable article was 
left. Some of the keei)ers were too old; others 
lived too far away; political influence rather 
than ])rofessional fitness had dictated appoint- 
ments during the single year after crews 
were organized, and the employment of crews 
at alternate stations had in some cases resulted 
in having them where they were little needed, 
while it had left other stations, where regular 
crews were most necessary, dependent upon 
vohmteers. 

A thorough reorganization was, therefore, 
inaugurated in order that the practically new 
service might be fit and ready for the winter's 
work which was already near at hand. Twelve 
new houses were established on the Jersey 
coast, and the old ones were either rebuilt or 
enlarged so as to afford accommodations for 
the crews, apparatus and shipwrecketl peojde. 
The new houses were 42 by 18 feet in dimen- 
sions, with a lower and an upper story, each 
divided into two rooms, one of the lower ones 
l)eing adapted for the accommodation of the 
ajjparatus, and the other for a messroom. One 
of the upper ]-ooms was set apart for the 
storage of various portif)ns of the ap|)aratus, 
while the other was furnished as a dormitory 
foi- the crew. All stations were supplied witli 



103 



the most u])i)n)vc(l ;i|)|);ir;itu.s obtainable, and 
sueh ehanyes of location were made as were 
found necessary. 

lender the clause of llii' law autlioi-i/iny- tlie 
eni]jloyment of surfmen at such stations as the 
secretary mi<4ht deem necessary, they were 
employed at all stations, and were selected as 
far as possible frou) t.'ie best material at hand 
with reyard to professional fitness only. That 
political and personal favors in some instances 
may have crept in without tJie knowledge of 
the general superintendent is probably true, 
but as far as possible such forbidden iuHuences 
were excluded, and at the apixiinted time the 
crews went on duty. Regulations for the gov- 
ernment of the crews were issued, requiring 
frecjuent drills with the apparatus and regular 
routine station duties. 

Many of tiie fatal disasters .;f former years 
were primarily due to tardy discovery, and 
with a view to securing information of wrecks 
at the earliest possible moment, it was ordered 
that the beaches should be ])atrolled through 
the night, and during the day in thick weatiier. 
Subsequently each patrolman was required to 
carry a metallic cheek to be exchanged with 
the patrolman wbom he woukl meet from the 
adjacent station, each taking back ihe one re- 
ceived in exchange as a voucher of his fidelity. 
Besides the cheek the patrolman also carried 
night signals with which to apprise shipwreck- 
ed crews of their discovery, and afford tJiem 
assurance that relief would be undertaken. It 
was well understood at the outset that this duty 
would be (lifHcult and dangerous in view of 
the various incidents of cold, darkness and 
tempestuous weather, and the project met with 
opposition: but it was believed to 1)e absolutely 
essential to the success of the service and was 
resolutely enforced. The first season's expe- 
rience, the winter of 1871-7'2, gave most grati- 
fying results, the rejjorts showing that not a 
single life was lost within the scope of life- 
saving o])erati()ns, including both the New Jer- 
sey and Long Island coasts. The next season 
showed like favorable reports, and the system 
has satisfactorily continued until the present 
day. The crews are divided into four watches 
extending from sunset to sunrise, each watch 
consisting of two men who proceed in opposite 
directions from their station to the jjlaces of 
meeting the adjacent patrols. Under this ar- 
rangement no surfman ever has a whole night 
in bed, and a considerable percentage incur 
di-sease or physical injury in making their lone- 



ly vigils, while several have perished on the 
stormy pathway. One of these was John 
Parker, of the Forked River station, \ew Jer- 
sey, who was found by a search party frozen 
to death in the snow. A considerable number 
belonging to various stations have also perished 
from exposure and accident on t.he ])atrol, but 
the utility of the system is so ])lain that no 
thought of suspending or abolishing it has ever 
occurred. 

The selection of siu'fmen was made at first 
upon nominations by the keepers, but, notwith- 
standing the utmost vigilance, as time went on 
no great ])erio(l elapsed before the discovery 
was a subtle poison hard to detect and harder 
itism and the forl)idden influence of political 
favor actuated the keepers in many eases. The 
evils of kinshij) and jjersonal favoritism were 
not difficult to sujjjjress, but the political bane 
was a subtle poison hard to detect and harder 
to drive out. 

It must not be understood that as a ride rep- 
resentative men in state or national politics 
were engaged in the petty political chicaneries. 
Those methods were generally resorted to by 
the small ])oliticians for no other ])ur])ose than 
to further the election of some k)cal nobody to 
a dignity no higher, perhaps, than that of town 
constable or ])ound kee])er,and it was remarked 
in one of the annual reports that even "they 
would probably consider it very hard fortune 
to find themselves in imminent peril upon a 
wreck, swept fore and aft by the winter sea and 
condemned to look for deliverance by life- 
saving crews of their own choosing." 

Upon the first authentic rumors of political 
interference, the chief of the service at once be- 
gan a searching iinestigation. In one of the 
districts where political manipulation had gain- 
ed considerable headway, it was found that two 
of the ten keepers bad no knowledge whatever 
of surfmanship and nautical matters, one being 
a blacksmith, another a school teacher, while a 
third knew scarcely anything about the busi- 
ness, and a foiu'th was totally dis(jualified phys- 
ically. At one station there were but two com- 
l)etent ])ersons in the entire crew. In the fourth 
district (the coast of New Jersey) the condi- 
tions were found to be tolerably good. Out of 
2.59 keepers and surfman, 7 keepers were rec- 
onunended for removal for various causes, 3 
of them for incompetency. Of the 222 surfmen 
only two were, found ineomjjetent. At that 
time the New Jersey district was coTisidered 
the most important in the service, having had 

104 



forty wrecks within its limits during tlie pre- 
ceding season. The report of the general su- 
perintendent for that year says: "The credit- 
a])le conduct of the crews on all occasions of 
disaster and their success in saving life and 
property attest the general efficiency of the dis- 
trict." A thorough sifting of all the districts 
where there was any necessity for this resulted 
in marked improvement. 

From this time the service grew rapidly in 
importance until 1878, when Congress removed 
it from the supervision of the revenue cutter 
service, and hy the act of June 18, organized 
it into a hureau. The chief of the revenue 
cutter service, ^Ir. Kimball, was promoted by 
the ])resident, and unanimously confirmed by 
the Senate, to be the general superintendent. 
On ]May 4, 1882, in response to urgent ajjpeals 
of the general superintendent tliroughout the 
])receding ten years. Congress enacted the fol- 
lowing provision of law, at last placing the ser- 
vice on the bedrock of non-])artisanship: 

"The ap])<)iiitment of district superinten- 
dents, inspectors and keejjers and crews of life- 
saving stations shall be made solely with refer- 
ence to their fitness, and \\ithout reference to 
their political or party affiliations. " 

xVs organized under the act of June 18, 1878, 
the coasts of the United States -upwards of 
10. ()()() miles in extent, exclusive of Alaska and 
oin- insular possessions — are divided into thir- 
teen life-saving districts, of which the coast 
of New Jersey is the fifth. Here are -41 sta- 
tions, beginning at Sandy Hook and ending at 
Cape May. They are coimected with one an- 
other bj' a telephone line belonging to the ser- 
vice, which covers the entire distance except 
five or six miles bet\v'een Cold Spring and Cape 
May, where a private wire is used; at various 
jjoints the system is connected with important 
commercial centers, so that early information 
to vessel owners, underwriters, maritime ex- 
changes, etc.. may be turned over to the general 
telegraph lines. Most of the stations are of 
modern design, having am])le accommodations 
for the crews and apparatus. The living por- 
tions of the houses, which are of two stories, 
contain a kitchen, general messroom or sitting- 
room, keeper's office and a large and airy dormi- 
tory, while the apparatus-room is am])le for the 
accommodation of the several boats, the life car, 
(luj)licate sets of the breeches buoy apparatus, 
and all the various paraphernalia pertaining 
to life-saving operations. The Lyle gun, 
which long since superseded the mortar as a 
means of throwing lines to wrecks, is in every 



station. It is a light bronze cannon, weigh- 
ing with its whole e(|uii)ment only about 200 
povmds, and is capable of throwing a line more 
than tM'ice as far as was the mortar — very 
nearl}' 700 yards under the most fa\'orable cir- 
cumstances. 

A regular routine of duties is appointed for 
every day. JNIonday it is practice with the 
beach apparatus, overhaiding the boats and 
all ai)paratvis and gear; Tuesday, practice 
with the boats; Wednesday, practice with the 
international code of signals; Thursday, prac- 
tice with the breeches buoy apparatus; Friday, 
practice \vith the methotl for restoring the ap- 
parently drowned; and Saturday, "Cleaning 
house." The drill with the breeches buoy is 
])erformed with the aid of a spar erected near 
the station to represent the mast of a vessel. 
A surfman, representing a shipwrecked sailor, 
is mounted on the spar, wJiich has a cross arm, 
and the shot line is thrown with the Lyle gun; 
the re.st of tlie apj^aratus is then set up, and the 
surfman is taken off in the breeches buoj'. 
While there is always more or less difficulty 
in these operations at actual wrecks, they are 
generally performed in drill with astonishing 
celerity, and in drill if a ci'ew cannot accom- 
plish the rescue of a supposed shipwrecked 
man within five minutes, it is supposed to have 
i)een remiss in attention to duty. 

The crews, including- the keepei's, generally 
consist of from seven to eight men. and, as re- 
(juired by law, are selected wholly with I'egard 
to professional fitness, and without regard to 
any other consideration whatever. The stations 
on the New Jersey coast, as well as on the en- 
tire Atlantic, are open and manned for duty 
from August of each year to ]May 31 of the 
following. During June and July, when the 
weather is generally very mild, only the keeper 
s in charge at the station; but the crews are 
bound to service during these months in case of 
lisaster shoidd they be in the vicinity where 
they generally reside, and in the absence of any 
members of the crew the keeper is authorized 
to ]3rocure the services of volunteei-s. The pay 
of kee])ers is $900 per anniun, and of the surf- 
men $().5 per month when employed at the 
stations. 

No better keepers or surf men can be found 
anywhere in the world. Their achievements, 
often under the most distressing conditions, 
have on numerous occa.sions shown a degree 
of skill, endurance and courage little less than 
marvelous. I'erhaps no l)etter examples could 
be foinid than several rescues effected in the 



105 





lOO 



height of a terrihle teni])e.st which swept the 
coast Februai-y 3, 1880, when the crews of three 
separate stations rescued without the shghtest 
mishaj) all the persons on four different vessels 
by means of the breeches buoy a})paratus. 
which was set up and operated in utter dark- 
ness while the lanterns of the surfmen as well 
as tlieir clothing- and the entire ajjparatus were 
thickly cov£red with sleet, and the light of the 
lanterns was thereby rendered so feeble as to 
be ahnost useless. The storm was practically 
a hui-i-icane, reaching the velocity of 84 miles 
an hour. All the hotels at Tjong Branch were 
more or less in ju]-ed, while the roofs of two 
were completely carried away. The roof was 
also wrenched from the pavilion on the ])ier — a 



buihhiii;' HM) feet long. 



■Ijike damage occurred 



all along the shore. The surf was the highest 
known foi- many years, and the tempest raged 
for twelve liours. 

'J'he first of the four \\recks mentioned was 
tliat of the "Steplien Ilai'ding," a three-masted 
schooner, carrying eight persons. After the 
beach apjiaratus was set up, for some reason 
unknown to the life-saving crew, tlie ship- 
wrecked people did not come ashore and it be- 
came necessary to send out to the wreck a surf- 
man in the breeches buoy to superintend the 
movements on board. Surfman Wilson un- 
dertook this perilous duty, and through his 
brave assistance at the risk of his life all were 
safely taken to the beach. 

The next case was that of the brig "Castalia." 
Xotwithstan ling the intense darkness, the 
shotline was speedily fired on board and the 
eleven persons, including one woman, were 
soon safe on tiie beach. 

Then came the "E. C. Babcock," which, 
laden with cord wood, carried besides her crew 
the captain's wife and two children. With 
almost incredible swiftness all Mere landed one 
by one, except that a little child came in the 
arms of the captain and one with the mate. 
This vessel struck a mile and a ([uarter distant 
from the station, and despite all tlie formidable 
obstacles encountered in reaching the jjlace 
and setting up the gear, the eight people on 
board were rescued within one hoin- and fifty 
minutes after she had struck. 

The next instance was very similar, oidy that 
the life-saving men, at extreme danger to their 
own lives from the deadly undertow and the 
floating debr's and cord wood from the "Bab- 
cock," which was breaking up, were obliged to 
rush into the breakers to save some of the 
people. 



The "George Taulane," another of this day's 
disasters, was followed for over three miles 
as she drifted along the shore, the life-savers, 
on account of the terrific sea, which covered 
the entire beach, being obliged to stumble 
along the sand hills painfully dragging their 
a])paratus and occasionally firing a life-line 
toward the vessel as she paused for a few mo- 
ments on her terrible com-se. As soon as she 
finally held up, all on board were saved; one 
had fallen from the rigging while the vessel 
was drifting before the gale. These and other 
rescues accomplished during that memorable 
storm excited such public admiration that the 
state legislature unanimously adopted resolu- 
tions connnending the skill and bravery of the 
station crews. 

AVhen the act of Congress of December 14, 
18.54, was under discussion, Mv. Skelton, of 
New Jersey, and JMr. Chandler, of Pennsjd- 
vauia, both stated repeatedly in the House of 
Representatives that the loss of life from 
shipwreck on the New Jersey and Long Island 
coasts was more than a Ihoiisand every year. 
There are no statistics by which this statement 
may be tested, but lUKjuestionably the loss was 
very heavy. Fnder the present system it has 
been reduced to small proportions. From 
Sandy Hook to Cape ]May the entire coast line 
of the state is ])atr()lled every night during ten 
months of the year by "2.50 sharp-eyed watch- 
men, from whose vision it is hardly possible 
for a wreck to be concealed by fog or darkness, 
nor is there any danger that assistance may be 
either delayed or inefficient. By means of the 
tele])h()ne lines, tlu-ee or four crews can easily 
be assembled in case of extraordinary disasters 
within not much more than an hour, two of 
them ordinarily within less time. 

Only lot) lives have been lost on the Jersey 
coast in almost 32 years imdei- the present svs- 
tem (Novend)er 1^ 1871, to June 30, 1903), 
as against sometimes manj' more than twice 
this number in a single year under the old 
regime; and this total of lost is from 14.527 
lives imijeriled. Therefore, only 1 out of every 
133 has perished. The number of vessels in- 
volved in these disasters was 1,.544; the esti- 
mated value of cargoes. $3(5,370, lOft, of which 
amount only $7,33.5,172 has been lost. During 
the same period 2,496 persons have been given 
succor for G,386 days at the stations on the 
coast. This succor has not only included shel- 
ter and food, but in almost all instances 
clothinn-.

SCENES ALONG THE PALISADES NEW JERSEY

btevens Institute of Tecnnology 

By Prof. A. C. rlumphreys. President 



StiMiis liiNtitute of TecliiKiloji-y was founded by Mr. 
Edwin A. Sti-vcns, the sur\i\iiig meniher of a family 
trio of pioneer Ameriean engineers, tlie first being Col. 
John Stevens, his father; and the second, Robert L. 
Stevens, liis brother. Mr. Edwin A. Stevens died in 
1868, leaving ,a plot of ground, a buihllng fund of 
•i^irjO.OOO and an endowment fund of !f;.')()(l.((nO for an 
"Institution of learning." 

The executors of Mr. Stevens' will, who were also the 
a])p(>inted trustees of the proposed institution, selected 
Henry Morton, then professor of cheniastry in the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania, and secretary, and editor of 
tlie ".lourn.al." of the Franklin Institute, as president 
of the new institution, the nature of which Mr. Stevens 
li.ad left o])en, but which his executors decided, after 
studying technical institutions in this country and in 
Euro|)c, should be a school of meeii.mie.il engineering. 
Accordingly a building was erected and in September, 
1871, its doors were thrown open to the public. 

There was not at that time an institution anywhere 
devoted to the study of mechanical engineering, and it 
w.is no small task that the trustees and President Morton 
undertook in laying out a suitable curriculum for a 
training in that ])articular brancli of the engineering 
])rofession. That they succeeded in their ijl.ms all the 
world now kno«s; and in this success a large measure of 
credit is due the men who composed the original faculty, 
all but three of whom have passed away. These men 
were Henry Morton, Ph.D., president; Alfred M. Mayer, 
Ph.D., professor qf physics; De Volson Wood, C. E., 
professor of mathematics ; Robert H. Tiiurston, C, E,, 
professor of mechanical engineering; Charles W, Mac- 
Cord, Sc.D., professor of mechanical drawing; Albert 
R. Leeds, professor of chemistry; Charles F. Kroch, A. 
M., professor of languages, and Edw-ard Wall, A. M., 
jirofessor of Belles-Lettres. Professors Wall, MacCord 
and Kroch are still members of the faculty. 

The work accomplished by the men of the original 
faculty in tlieir respective departments has been thor- 
ough and complete, as the many Stevens men now hold- 
ing liigh rank in the engineering world will testify. In 
this connection President Alexander C. Humphreys re- 
cently tabulated a general though brief statement of tlie 
prominent positions held by Stevens' Alumni, not only 
to show their officers, but also the breadth of the Stevens' 
curriculum, which has always aimed to give a tiiorough 
grounding in the underlying princi))les of engineering, 
thus fitting the gr.aduate with a substantial training for 
any braneli of the work he may choose to take up. The 
list of rcsjjonsible positions held by Stevens' graduates 
includes: Officers of railroads, superintendents of iron 
and steel mills, electric light engineers, electric railway 
engineers, manufacturers of electrical apparatus, gas 
engineers, specialists in steam, marine engineers, de- 
signers and builders of various kinds of engines, hydrau- 
lic engineers, bridge builders, sugar manufacturers, flour 
manufacturers, refrigerating engineers, oil refiners, loco- 
motive builders, copper refiners, manufacturers of instru- 



ments, superintendents of |>aper mills, manufacturers of 
textile machinery, mining engineers, etc., etc. 

The Stevens Institute is governed by a board of trus- 
tees as follows: Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Mr. S. Bav.ird 
Dod, Col. G. B. M. Harvey, President Alexander C. 
Humphreys, Mr. Edwin A. Stevens, Mr. Richard 
Stevens, Mr. Henry R. Towne, Mr, Alfred R. \\'olff. 
and tliree Aliunni Trustees, each serving for a period of 
three years. At the present time the Alumni trustees 
are: Mr. Carter H. Page, Jr., '87; Mr. Edward A. 
Uehling, '77, and Mr, M. C, Post, '86. 

President Morton who has directed the .ifl'.iirs of tlie 
Institute since its beginning, passed away May ,Q, 190'2, 
.111(1 in the following ,Iune Mr, Alexander C. Humphreys, 
a graduate of the Institute (class of '81), and a member 
of tlie board of trustees since 18.91, was unanimously 
elected as Dr. Morton's successor. 

The original endowment of Stevens Institute, as al- 
ready mentioned, was Jf.'jOO.OOO. The iirincijial sources 
of revenue received since its establisliment have been 
from the late President Morton, who at various critical 
times gave sums ranging from $2,500 to $.'50,000, and 
aggregating $M.;),000. Not all of this remains as an 
endowment fund, for much that President Morton gave 
was .ipplied to meeting the growing demands for ac- 
commodation. For examjile. he gave $10, .500 for fitting 
u]) a worksliop in 1881, and $1,5,000 for the building 
of a new lioiler-house in 1001. In 189;) Mr. Andrew 
Carnegiedonated $6.5,000 for a new Laboratory of En- 
gineering, and upon its completion in 1902, gave $100,- 
000, and a year later $125,000 and 1905 $50,000, mak- 
ing a total of $275,000 as an endowment fund for the 
building. In 1897, Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, widow 
of tlie founder, gave a plot of ground with house, valued 
at $30,000; and in 190.S, Colonel E. A. Stevens and 
Rol)ert ,1. Stevens, both sons of the founder, gave a 
x;ilu;ible tract of land close to tlie Institute grounds 
for a dormitory. 

The course of study at tlie Institute, as suggested by 
tlie list of the de[)artments previously given in connec- 
tion with the original faculty, has grown witli the times, 
until now, in this year of 1906, it includes thorough 
and complete studies in theoretical, practical and ex- 
perimental mechanical and electrical engineering, me- 
chanical drawing and designing, business engineering, 
engineering chemistry, mathematics, pliysics. English 
and logic, and modern languages. 

Large and well-regulated labor.itories arc provided 
for manual work in the Department of Exjierimental 
Mechanics, Electrical Engineering. Physics and Chemis- 
try, also shops for instruction in macliine work, carpen- 
try, pattern and core-making, moulding and foundry 
work; and large and well-lighted draughting rooms in 
the Department of Drawing and Designing. These 
latter have recently been cquijiped with individual ad- 
justable electric lamps for each student. Two years ago

Manufacturing Industries 



TIic census fiuinicr.itioii for IS.K) includes l/^O? New 
Jersey manufacturing plants with a capital of .fS^.SyS,- 
258, euijiloying an average of 37,830 workmen who re- 
ceived •$9,36l',740 in wages, with an aggregate product 
valued at $39,851,256". The proportion of population 
( 1'89,555) employed in the manufacturing plants of the 
state during the census year ending 1850 was (7.7) seven 
and seven-tenths per cent, of the whole. 

In I860 there were 1,173 manufacturing establish- 
ments, employing .$10,521, 018, and an average of 56'.- 
027 workmen, who were paid $16,277,337 in wages. 
The value of the aggregate product was $76,306,104; 
and the proportion of the population (672,035) em- 
ployed in these plants was (8.3) eight and three-tenths 
per cent, of the whole. 

In 1870 there were 6.6.')() m.inufacturing establish- 
ments capitalized at $7S).6"0()',7 19- employing an average 
of 57,552 woi-kmen. who were paid ■$32,6l8,K)<) in wages. 
with an aggregate ))roduct \;ilued at •$169,237,732, while 
the proportion of factory workmen remained the same 
as in 1 860 or 8.3 per cent, of the whole population. 

In 1880 the New Jersey manufacturing establishments 
had increased to 7,128, having a ea])ital of $106,226,593 
employing an average of 126,038 workmen who were 
paid $ 1'6. 083,015 in wages. The value of total product 
was $251-, 380,236, and the number of workmen had in- 
creased to (11.1) eleven and one-tenth of the entire 
population (1,131,116). 

In 1890 there were 9,225 establishments capitalized 
at $250,805,745, employing an average of 173,778 work- 
men who were jjaid .$82,91' 1,1 18 in wages. The value 
of the aggregate jiroduct was $351,573,571, and the jjro- 
portion of pojinlation cni])loyed in factories had in- 
creased to (12.0) twelve per cent, of the whole (l.lil,- 
933). 

Our 1900 census includes for New Jersey 15,481 
manufacturing plants capitalized at $502,824,082. em- 
ploying an average of 241,582 wage-earners, who were 
))aid a total of $110,088,605. The value of products 
had increased to $611,748,933. The ]5ercentage of the 
entire jiojjulation (1.883.669) emjdoved in factories was 
12.8. 

From the above extracts from census rejjorts it will 
be seen that there has been an unusual growth in the 
manufacturing and mechanical industries of New Jersey 
during the half century. During this jieriod there was 
an increase of from 489,555 to 1,883.669 in ))0|)ulation. 
^lanufacturing plants increased from 4.207 to 15.481; 
the capital employed from $22,203,258 to $502,824,082; 
the value of products increased from $39,851,256 to 
$611,748,933; the average number of wage-earners in- 
creased from 37,830 to 241.582; factory employees in 
jiroportion to the entire population has increased from 
(7.7 to 12.8) seven and seven-tenths to twelve and eight- 
tenths jjcr cent. This conclusively ])roves t'lat the 
ado|)tion of automatic machinery and other labor-saving 
inventions do not decrease the number of workmen em- 
ployed in manufacturing industries. In the value of 
maiuifactured jjrodncts New Jersey ranks sixth in the 
United States. Of the 17,680 establishments included 
in tlje above report for 19OO 9.372, or 53 i)er cent., were 



sm.ill shops included in the groups of "hand trades" 
and establishments with an annual product of less than 
•$500. The v.ilue of the products of these establishments, 
consisting ])rincipally of the sums received for custom 
work and repairing, amounted to $46,444,121. or only 
7.6 jjcr cent, of the total value of the manul'actured 
])roducts of the state. 

Among the numerous causes of New Jersey's pheno- 
uu'ual growth on industrial lines ])erha|is the more im- 
portant arc jiir exceptionally favorable gi'ograpliical 
position and the une(jualed transportation facilities fur- 
nished by tile railroads which connect the manufactur- 
ing centers witli the New York bay, Staten Island sound 
and Raritan iiay. There are seven trunk line systems 
of railroad in the state, all having terminals close to 
New York bay, having a total mileage within the state 
of 2,242 in I899. It is necesary to trans])ort the coal 
needed for manufacturing over comparatively short 
distances, the center of the anthracite district in Peini- 
sylvania being but about fifty miles from the western 
border of the state, and about 125 miles from the east- 
ern border. Much of the pig-iron used by manufact 
urers comes from Morris and \\'arren counties in tiie 
northern ])art of the st<ate. Four railroad lines connect 
this region with the chief manufacturing centers. The 
industrial growth of the state has been stimulated .also 
by the proximity to the markets of New York on the 
east and Philadelphia on the west. 

The census report for 19OO enumerates fifteen so- 
called leading industries, including petroleum refining, 
pottery, rubber and elastic goods, sewing machines and 
attachments, textiles, including carpets and rugs, cotton 
goods, dyeing and finishing, hosiery .and knit goods, 
shoddy, silk and silk goods, woolen goods and worsteds; 
also tobacco, including chewing, smoking aiul srniff ; 
cigars and cigarettes. 

The petroleum industry included four establishments 
having an aggregate capital of •$23,332,426, employing 
an average of 2,951 workmen, paying •$1,768,768 in 
wages, with an aggregate |)roduct valued at $2.').64<).460. 

The Jiottery, terra-cotta and fire clay industry included 
eighty-one establishments employing a capital of $15.- 
324.966, employing an average of 8.117 persons, who 
were paid $3,841,404 in wages, with |)roducts aggregat- 
ing $8,940,723. 

The rubber and clastic goods industry included thirty- 
seven establishments, employing an aggregate capital of 
•$6,078,155, em|)loying 2.609 workmen, who were jtaid 
•$1,150,503 in wages with an annual ])roduct valued at 
$8,458,274. 

The sewing m.ichine and attachments industry includ- 
ed four establishments capitalized at $4,317,666. cm- 
ploying 4,701 workmen, who were paid .$2,809,523. with

The carpet and rug industries included thirteen estab- 
lishments emjiloying an aggregate capital of $1,487,031,

wages, with an .annual )iroduct valued at $1,522,827. 

The cotton goods industry included twenty-five estab- 
lishments, employing a capital of •$14,399,291. enijiloy- 
ing 5,681 workmen, who were paid •$1,930,940, with an

ing 7,074 workmen, who were paid $3,00.'! , 491 in wages, 
with an annual product valued at ^lOylSSjgfi;'- 

The hosiery and knit goods industry included sixteen 
establishments, capitalized at .$1 .973,-18'2. employing 1,-

total product valued at $1,748,148. 

The slioddy industry included lour establishments 
capitalized at $5,S8.9.'!(), employing 156 workmen, who 
were paid $56,027 in wages. Tiie total product was 
valued at .$685,048. 

The silk and silk goods industries included one hun- 
dred and eighty establishments, capitalized at $29,285,-

The worsted goods industry inchided eleven estab- 
lishment capitalized at $12,080, 721 and employing 3910 
workmen, who were paid $1,097,197 in wages with the 
total annual ])roduct valued at $6,823,721. 

The cliewing. smoking and snntt' branch of the tobacco 
industry included twelve estal)lishnients, capitalized at 
$6,692,041, employing 1,955 workmen, who were paid 
$527,195, with an aggregate product valued .at $7,788,- 

379. 

The cigar and cigarette industry included four hun- 
dred and eighty-six establishments, employing a capital 
of $1,311,122 and having 1.640 workmen, who were paid 
.$705,158, with a total product valued at $2.61.7.595. 

These 15 industries embraced 1,780 establishments, 
1 1 .5 of all manuf.-icturing plants in the state on the 
various lines. Their total capital was •$260.3()] .957, or 
51.8 per cent, of the total capital employed on manu- 
facturing lines. These fifteen establishments employed 
an average of 117,008 wage-earners, or 48.4 per cent, of 
tlie total number employed on manufacturing lines in 
tlie state. The tot;d wages amounted to $52,825,741, or 
58 per cent, of this amount. Tlie value of their ])roducts 
was .$258,421,105, or 42 per cent, of the total. 

Tlie textiles indu.stry is the most important industry 
in the state, with 321 establishments reported in 19OO 
giving employment to 46,932 wage-earners, or 19-4 per 
cent, of the entire number of workmen employed in the 
manufacturing industries. Their products were valued 
at $72,921,528, or 1 I.9 per cent, of the total value of the 
m.'Uiufactured jiroducts of the state. 

Tiic silk industry w.as liegun in Paterson about 1840, 
but it liad att;iine,d comjiaratively little success previous 
to the decade ending 1870, when large amounts of capital 
were invested and extensive mills were erected. During 
the decade the number of establishments increased from 
8 to 29 and the value of products from $960,900 to 
$4,495,564. Paterson has now become the great center 
of the silk industry in tlie United States and its products 
in Paterson are probably exceeded only by tli.it of Lyons, 
in France. 

In 1900 there was 25 establishments in the state en- 
gaged in the manufacture of iron and steel, with 8,288 
wage-earners and products valued at $24,381,699- The 
increase of such products during the decade from 1890 
to 1900 was $13,363,124, or 121.3 per cent. The be- 



ginning of this industry dates back to a very early period 
in the liistory of the state. 

One of the largest as well as the oldest manufactories 
of pig-iron is located at Oxford, in Warren county, 
furnaces were established there and also at Fhillipsburg, 
Hackettsown, Port Oram and Stanhope because of the 
local supjjlics of iron ore. Rolling mills and steel works 
are distributed over that part of the state which lies be- 
tween Dover and Trenton. 

In 1900 there were 77 establishments engaged in the 
tanning, currying and finishing of leather, with 4,178 
wage-earners; their products were valued at $13,747,155. 
In 1890 there was but 31 establishments and but 706 
wage-earners, and the products were valued at only 
$2,780,016. The increase of this industry during the 
decade was therefore 394.5 per cent. And yet the city 
of Newark had held a leading place in this industry 
from a very early period. 

In 1900 there were 61 establishments in the manu- 
facture of chemicals with 3,048 wage-earners and pro- 
duets valued at $12,207,289. 

In 1900 there were 81 establisliments engaged in the 
manufacture of pottery, terra-cotta and fire clay with 
8,117 wage-earners and products valued at $8,940,723. 
^^'ith the exception of some porcelain clays fround else- 
where in the state, substantially all the valuable clays and 
sands whieli form the basis of the pottery industry are 
mined in Middlesex comity in the neighborhood of Wood- 
bridge and Perth Aniboy. The hundreds of clay and 
s.ind pits are fortunately so situated that none of them 
are more th;ui three miles from the navigable waters of 
State Island sound, Raritan river, or the South river. 
Stimulated by these advantages immense works have 
been constructed in this section of the state, of whicli 
architectural terra-cotta, fire brick and front building 
brick, gas retorts, stove lining, sewer pipe and roofing 
tile ,are made and distributed to .all part of the United 
-St.ites. The city of Trenton, however, is the most famous 
pottery center of New Jersey and of the United States 
as well,, its name being as naturally associated with the 
industry in the United States as are the names of Staf- 
fordshire, Dresden and Sevres, with the industry in 
Europe. 

The finest quality of porcelain, granite and white ware 
are produced in Trenton. In the jiroduction of sani- 
tary ware Trenton leads all others centers. The first 
pottery establishment for the producti(m of white granite 
,and cream-colored wares was established in 1859. In 
1876 the ivory porcelain and Parian vases exhibited at 
the Centennial Exliibition in Philadelphia by Trenton 
manufacturers attracted much attention and greath' les- 
sened tlie popular (irejudice in favor of foreign-made 
pottery. The stimulus given by such publicit}' called 
into existence many new establishments, some of which 
h.ive since become f.amous in the industry. Hitherto 
there had been little disposition on the part of prac- 
tical master potters to go beyond the making of such ware 
as was put to the most ordinary uses. But higher 
grades of ware, more artistic shapes and better glazes 
begun about this time have since taken the place of the 
less perfect products of the kilns. Em))loyers and work- 
men grew in experience and skill, tlie old conservatism 
was abandoned and the reputation of potteries have been 
been established on a high plane of workmanship. 

In 1900 there were 37 establishments engaged in the 
manufacture of rubber and elastic goods, with an average 
of 2,609 wage-earners and j)roducts valued at .$8,458,274.

Atlantic City 



Atlantic City is the ])rciiilc'r ])lea.sure and 
health resort on the American continent, and, 
in fact, taken all the year round, it has no equal 
in the world. Some Kuro])ean resorts rival it 
at times for a limited sunmier or winter season, 
hut no others com]xn-e with it in popularity, 
comfort, ])leasure and health-^'ivino- (jualities 
<lurint>- all of the yciu-. ()ccu])ying\ as it does, a 
small island some ten nn'les in length and less 
than a mile in width, extending nearly due 
east and west, and distant ahout seven miles 
from the main land, from which it is separated 
hy large salt water hays and salt meadows, it 
faces to the south so that the prevailing south- 
west breeze of sinnmer comes to it from the 
ocean, and in the winter its southern exposure 
and its proximity to tlie Gulf Stream insure 
it an equable climate, balmy and mild, and sev- 
eral degrees warmer tluui the nearby cities of 
New York and Philadeli)hia. From a barren 
waste of sand dunes interspersed with a half 
dozen gimning and fishing boxes in 1854, when 
the first railroad was built, the island has grown 
into a modern ])leasure and health resort city 
accommodating 250.000 peo^jle at a time and 
with a real estate value of al)out $92,000,000. 

It is essentially a city of hotels, cottages and 
boarding houses. Its sole business is to enter- 
tain the public and to cater to the luxin-ious 
comforts, health, pleasure and happiness of the 
peo])le who come to it from all over the coini- 
try. On any day of the year guests may be 
and are accommodated in the hotels with all the 
comforts and luxuries which can be obtained 
in the best metro])olitan hotels. In no other 
resort in the eoimtiy are tlieir accomodations 
for those seeking recreation, diversion and 
health that are to be fou?id in Atlantic City. 

Atlantic City is one of the most interesting 
places in America, not only because as an all- 
the-year-round resort it enjoys a ^practically 
never-ending season, but also l)ecause it is a 
city of importance among the municipalities 
of the Xew World. Its ])ublic buildings are 
many and handsome. Its commercial interests 
are numerous. Its schools and other institu- 
tions are large, modern and well e(|uipi)ed and 
well managed. Its business enterprises are 
varied, its i^aid fire department is well e(}uip- 
ped. and it is withal one of the most desirable 



places in the woi-Id — a city of homes. Cottage 
life at Atlantic City is highly enjoyable. 
Many of the prominent business men from 
Philadelpliia and otlier large commercial cen- 
ters come to reside a whole or jjortion of tJie year 
and. on account of the superior train service, 
are enabled to attend to their business daily. 
There is a great deal of entertaining going on 
both among permanent residents and those of 
the summer and winter colony. 

There are no fresh water rivers or other large 
bodies of fresh water near Atlantic City nor 
on the main land in proximity to it and, as a 
consequence, its climate is dry. and there is al- 
most an entire absence of the fogs so ]irevalent 
where large bodies of fresh water em])ty into 
or are near salt water. Even in the midst of 
summer there is an absence of that sticky, 
damp clotliing. mildewed shoe feeling so com- 
mon to seashore resorts near large fresh water 
rivers or lakes. The dry climate and conse- 
quent pure air furnishes the real secret of At- 
lantic City's wonderful ])rogi-ess in popularity 
as a pleasure and health resort. The practical 
absence of ice and snow is another feature 
which contributes to Atlantic City's popularity 
dvn-ing the winter months. 

One and probably the most distinctive fea- 
ture of Atlantic City is its magnificent ocean 
front esplanade or boardwalk, which is foi'ty 
feet in widtli and extends a distance of four 
and one-half miles along the ocean's brink witli 
an imobstructed view. This walk, constructed 
by the municijiality at an exjjense of some 
$250,000 u])on steel jailing elevated from ten to 
fifteen feet above the strand, is said to be the 
most popular recreation resort in the world. 
Xot only during the months of July, August 
and September, during which the season is at 
its height, is, this promenade well patronized 
but during the spring months of February, 
^Nlarch, xVpril and May, particularly during the 
Fiaster season, it is crowded with bright, well- 
dressed peo])le enjoying the invigorating ozone 
from the ocean and the sunny southern expos- 
ure and balmy climatic conditions. 

Rolling chairs are an institution of Atlantic 
City of equal ])opularity with the old and 
young, the sick and the strong. The hotels 
are nearly all constracted so that the invalid

at no time during a guest's visit is he obliged 
to forego 'a trip along the boardwalk. 

Atlantic City possesses one of the most per- 
fect bathing beaches on the iVtlantic coast. It 
shelves oft' very gradually, so that no life lines 
are necessary. It is not an luicommon sight 
diu'ing the summer month to see as high as 
■iO.OOO people at one time batliing in the surf. 

The Casino of the boardwalk, in the center 
of the city and nearly opposite the City Park, 
is one of the recognized centers of social life. 
Here is maintained both winter and spring a 
high grade musical organization which gives 
concerts during the day and evening. From 
its broad verandas the vista of the beach, sea and 
skv stretches out in varied indescribable beauty, 
while all about one the gay. busy life of the 
boardwalk goes on aft'onling endless diversion. 

The Atlantic City horse show, which is held 
annually about the middle of July has come 
to be one of the recognized shows of the coun- 
try on accovmt of many of the finest horses in 
the Eastern and Southern states being entered 
in competition. The grounds are located at 
Inlet Park, which are continually swept by 
ocean breezes and aix' ideal foi- an open-air 
horse show. 

Fishing, much ol' which is (luite sporty, is 
verv popular with visitors and residents of the 
City-by-the-Sea.and the angler will find plenty 
of exercise for both brain and muscle in his 
fifflit for masterv of tlie tinnv tribe. 

The islanil being entirely surrounded by 
water, the region is ideal for yachting either 
in the smootlier bays and thoroughfares lying 
between the beach and the main lantl or u])on 
the ocean, which can be reached in a few min- 
utes from the inside harl)or. Many handsome 
private yachts are here the year round, \\hile a 
fleet of public yachts are at iidet wharf at all 
seasons, which may be engaged for a short or 
long period. 

Atlantic City's water supply comes from a 
large lake several miles inland and in the midst 
of a forest far away from civilization. There 
has also recently been constructed near the 
pumjMng station on the niain land, a number of 
artesian wells extending to a depth of 850 feet 



where a strata of [jure crystal water is reached. 
In sanitary ai-rangements there is nothing to 
be desired. The sewer system extends over the 
entire city, and by it all the sewag'c is pumped 
to an extracting plant located a long distance 
away on the salt meadows, where it is incinei'a- 
ted and utilized. 

Atlantic City's railroad facilities are the most 
jiei'fect to be found in t.he country and in the 
worlil. The distance from Philadel])hia, near- 
ly sixty miles, is covered by trains on bot.h the 
Pennsylvania and Reading roads at the aver- 
age rate of considerably less than a mik' a min- 
ute: in fact, some of the record-breaking I'uns of 
the country are frequently made on these roads. 
Diu'ing the past summer a regular train cover- 
ed the entire distance from Camden to Atlantic 
City, 5.5 miles, in forty-three minutes. On this 
rim a number of miles were covered at the rate 
of 115 miles an hour. Of the five fastest trains 
in the world making daily trips or fifty miles 
or over, three of them are regular trains be- 
tAVeen Atlantic City and Philadelphia. 

As a place for convalescents Atlantic City 
has no eciual. The salt, pure air. miles of board- 
walk along the watei-'s edge, rides in the rolling 
chairs, and good hotels, many of which have 
t.heir special diet kitchen where tempting 
dishes are prepared especially for individual 
cases, are some of the features that help to 
make recovery most rapid and pleasant. Doc- 
tors of l)oth schools are residents here, many of 
them being specaiists. The Atlantic City Hos- 
pital is modern and well-equipped in every ])ar- 
ticular. 

Atlantic City has become probably the most 
jjopular ])lace in ^Vmerica for meetings of asso- 
ciations and conventions of all the various 
interests of the country. Her facilities for 
aceonnnodating and entertaining these associa- 
tions are without rival anywhere. She can at 
all times take cai'e, wit.h her hotel acconunoda- 
tions, of even the largest of these meetings. 
Her ])iei-s and other places of recreation aff'ord 
them entertainment, and at no place in 
the country are they more comfortal)le. The 
months of ^Nlay and June, and the last half of 
Septend)er, October and Xovember, are t.he 
most jjerfect months of the year at Atlantic 
City, and are the months most satisfactory to 
the various con\entions. These are the times 
when Atlantic City is the least crowded, and 
when she can better give attention to entertain- 
ing sucJi meetings.

Increase in Municipalities 

The number of ineor])orated districts in 
New Jersey increa.sed from 99 in 1890 to 191 
in 1900. The residents within these incor- 
porated limits in 1900 were 1,435,714, or 76.2 
per cent. — more than three-fourths of the 
state's entire population. In 1890 such pop- 
ulation was 936,016 out of a total of 1,444.- 
933, or ()4.8 ])er cent. 

Of the 191 incor])orated munici])alities in 
1900, 10 had a population of 25,000 and up- 
wards each; 17 had 8.000 and under 25.000; 22 
had 4,000 and under 8,000; 18 had 2,500 and 
under 4,000; 44 had 1,000 and under 2,500, 
while 80 had a population under 1,000. 

In the 27 incor])orated towns having a pop- 
ulation of 8,000 or more such population ag- 
gregated 1,153,001, or (n.2 per cent, of the 
.state. In 49 municijjalities having- a ])oj)iila- 
tion of 4,000 and upwards, the aggregate was 
1,272,259 or 67.5 per cent, of the state; and if 
we deduct the three principal cities of Newark, 
Jer.sey City and Pater.son, having over 100,000 
and wliich had a combined population of 557,- 
674. the remaining 46 towns contained 714,- 
585 which was 53.9 per cent, of the urban poj)u- 
lation, as against the above mentioned 67-5 per 
cent, of urban ])opulation within the state. 
This percentage of urban i)o|)iilation is ex-

The .seiiii-urhan increase was from 98,571 in 
1890 to l(i3,4(>5 in 1900, a total of (>4.,884: 
while tlie nu-al population, which was 508,917 
in 1890. decreased to 474.955 in 1900, amount- 
ing to 60,962 less in 1900 than in 1890. By 
semi-urban districts are meant those 142 incor- 
porated towns and villages which have a ]iop- 
idation of less than 4.000. They may be partly 
urban and pai'tly rural populations; but to 
reach a fair approximation to the strictly rural 
po])ulations as a proportion of tlie total po])- 
ulation of our state, we subtract the urban pop- 
ulation, which was 1,272.259 and the semi- 
urban population. 163.455. We then have as 
shown above, 477,955 rural inhabitants out of 
a total population of 1,383.669 as enumerated 
in the census of 1900. It is difficult to deter- 
mine the ratio of increase of the urijan 
popidation since that time, but it is known to 
be much greater than during the decade al)ove 
referred to. 

The native born p()i)ulation of our state 
numbers 1,451,785 or 77.1 l)er cent, of the 
whole. The foreign born were 431,884. or 22.- 
9 ])er cent of the whole. The native born in- 
crease during the last decade was 335,827. or 
30.1 ])er cent., and the foreign born increase 
102.909, or 21.3 per cent. For comparison with 
these figures we would state that the increase 
of the native born ])()puhdi()n of tlie wiiole Uni- 
ted States was 22.5 ])er cent, and of foreign 
born 12.4 per cent. 

In the total popidation of our whole country 
the white persons number 66,990,788. the color- 
ed 9,312.599. These figures include ])ersons 
of negro descent, 8,840.789; Chinese, 119,050; 
Japanese, 86,000, and Indians, 266,760. Xew 
Jersey's white population in 1900 was 1.812,- 



317, or 96.2 per cent. The colored population 
including the al)ove enumerated races in New 
Jersey, numbered (i9,844. or 3.8 per cent, of 
the whole. The increase of the wJiite ])opula- 
tion for that decade was 415,73(), or 29.8 per 
cent., wliile the negro populatin increased 22,- 
206 or 46.6 per cent, of their previous number. 
The number of negroes to each 100,000 whites 
in 1900 was 3,854, an increase of 443 to each 
100,000 whites in 1890. The C'iiinese popula- 
tion in 1900 was 1,393, an increase of 785 over 
1890. The Japanese in 1900 numbered 40; in 
1890. 22; in crease 18. The Indians in 1900 
numbered 63; in 1890. 84; decrease 21. 

The foreign born number 431,884, of wliich 
129,145 arrived in this country since 1890; 152,- 
172 were present in 1890, and 150.567 repre-

Government, from necessity, became the main 
factor in their imjirovement; until, through

Europe were liardened and kept in perfect con-

are applications for the improvement of about 
five hundred miles more, for which the state 
has not yet made appropriation. As many 
more miles have been improved by counties, 
townships and other municipalities. New 
Jersey can now ])resent more miles of continu- 
ous improved lines than several adjoining

the fact that they must be substituted by some- without the state, returning equally well loaded 

with products for the feeding and fertilizing 
of the farms. 

The value of agricultural land is shown by 
experience to be in direct ratio to the condition 
of the roads by which it is reached. With no 
good roads, land has no value. Thus, along the 
imprcned roads in Xew Jersey, land is ad- 
vancing in pi-ice. in many directions rapidly, 
and millions of dollars of taxable value have 
been added to ratables. 

Railroads are within seven miles of the ma- 
jority of the farms. Trolley lines are rapidly

and water mains, and electric lights are becom-

thing better. 

The agitation for the bettennent of these 
conditions resvdted. ovei- twelve years ago, in 
Xew Jersey having the honor of being the 
first commonwealth to adopt the plan of state 
aid. This movement was a new departiu-e 
which recognized the fact that the highways 
belong to the public and that all people have 
the right to use them, regardless of where 
they live. Pre\'ious to this the farmer bore 
the entire cost of building and maintaining 
the roads. Under this law. instead of the rural 
authorities ])aying- the whole cost, it is wisely 
distributed through state, county and township. 

The rural ])opu!ation was at first slow to 



comprehend the advantages of this law, but a Jersey in all its parts a most desirable residen- 

few leading minds earnestly pushed the de- tial, manufacturing and farming state. At- 

velopment vmtil inditference and antagonism, tracted by all these advantages, thousands from 

through practical realization of benefits, the o\ertlowing population of our cities are 

changed into intense desire, and. under its establishing their homes within the borders of 

workings in X"ew Jersey, the sum of $.),28o,000 our state.

Stimulated by tlic success of the New 
Jersey State Aid I^aw, nei'^'hboring common- 
wealths are ra])idly f'ollowiii<)' in her wake by 
appropriating millions of dollars for the im- 
provement of their highways. 

All the states of the Union are agitating 
the wisdom of adopting the Xew Jersey plan, 
and the prospect is promising that the 
National Crovernment will, from its great sur- 
plus, appropriate large sums to further stimu- 
late the movement. 

Thus we may hope that in time even state 
aid, with its great benetits, w ill be superseded 
by national appropriations, A\'hich will enable 
every state in our Union to have good roads. 

The wisdom of such a[)propriations is obvi- 
ous. In fact, it would seem, from the results 
already apparent in New Jersey, that the 
subject is one which will not long remain un- 
agitated in all the states. The demand is grow- 
ing. The roads already secured for this state 
have been of decided vahie. The advantages 
that have follcnved are uncjuestioned. In New 



Jersey they have brought an already marked 
increase of population. To the farming 
centers they have proved a great boon. And 
u hatevei- a state can do to advance the interests 
of her agricultural interests redounds to the 
benefit and matei-ial ])rosperity of her residents 



in general. 



The good roads of New Jersey have not oidy 
brought within her borders added residents, but 
they are daily attracting visitors. Where tlie 
trolley goes, improvements in the roads must 
follow. The automobile has been more ef- 
fective in securing good roads than have the 
needs of the people for generations. 

New Jersey is proud of having led in this 
movement. It is one more of the excellent 
measures in which this state has taken the ini- 
tiative. Her exhibit in tJiis department at the 
Louisana Purchase Kxhibition is atti-actiiig 
w^ide attention. It is safe to prophecy that her 
example will be followed by a number of the 
.states, and the work is one that will constantly 
increase.

Orange, about 1872, started on a different 
plan, bonded itself for $'2.50,()()(), and improved 
a large portion of its main tborougJifares at 
once. ^Vllen tbe money was spent tlie im- 
provements ceased, and very little effort in 
road improvement bas since been attempted 
in tbat town. 

Tbe panic of 187>'} put a (juietus on road im- 
])rovenient for some years, tbe extent of tbe 
work accom])lisbed being merely a few small 
extensions by tbe county into Caldwell and 
]Milbnrn, and tbe construction of some local 
streets in tbe Oranges. 

In tbe period from 1880 to 1882, a general 
movement seemed to pervade tbe wbole county 
and many municipalities started to improve 
tbeir road svstem bv a svstematic annual out- 
lav. 

Montclair bas spent from $10,000 to $1.5.000 
per annum for permanent im]irovement, and 
to-day tbere are very few nnim])roved roads 
witbhi its limits. Bloomfie'.d started tbe same 
plan, witb a similar annual outlay. Tbe work 
progressed so slowly under tbis scbeme, t.'iat 
about foin- years ago tbe town bonded itself 
for $7.5,000 and completely finisbed tbe town 
roads. 

Belleville and Nutley bonded tbemselves in 
1890,eacb for $.50.000. and impro\'e(l tbe roads 
as far as tbe money went. Belleville added 
anotber $.50,000 and finisbed its roads. Nut- 
ley, in tbe other direction, is Hnisbing its roads 
from tbe annual tax levy. 

Tbe village of Soutb Orange bas almost all 
its roads improved under an assessment system, 
and tbe borougb of Glen Ridge bas bonded 
itself to imi)rove all tbe roads witbin its limits. 

Tbe townsliij) of Clinton, now Irvington. 
tbe townsbi]} of Soutb Orange, Milburn and 
Wroiia. make ap])ro])riations eacb year for tbe 
|)uivbase of broken stone \\bicb is spread on tbe 
load surface. In some places it is rolled, in 
otbers it is allowed to wear smootb by travel: 
tbis work can bardly be classed as got^d road 
construction. 

Tbe townsjiips of I^ivingston and Caldwell 
bave no system of road improvement on ac- 
count of tbe interjection of tbe state road con- 
struction, wbicb began about 10 years ago and 
bas proved a great Itoon to tbe agricultural 
communities west of tbe Oi-ange mountains, 
wbere values are low and tbe cost of road im- 
provement would l)e bui'densoine on tbe local 
community. Tbis state road law was passed 
in 1802, and bas been considerably amended 
since its original passage; but in general it pro- 



vides tbat tJie board of freeholders may take 
any ])ul)lie road, and, witb tbe consent of tbe 
state iiigjiway commissioner, improve it at tbe 
joint expense of county and state, tbe latter 
paying one-tbird of tbe cost. , 

About 87 miles of state roads bave been built 
in tbis county. Tbis bas proved a very ])opular 
metliod of improvement; and in tbe agricultu- 
ral section, wbere tbe re])air of roads is not sys- 
tematic, good maintenance is assured under tbe 
county regime. 

EfSsex county is really tbe pioneer section of 
road improvement in tbe state, and probably 
in tbe country. Tbe abundance of good road 
material bas of course materially belped t!ie 
work: but great cretbt sbould also be given to 
tbe enterprise of its citizens in fostering tbe 
movement, and also to tbe body of road con- 
structoi-s and contractors wbo bave belped in 
solving tbe problem of good road construction. 
It bas been my good fortune to bave been pro- 
fessionally associated witb the road movement 
of Kssex county since its ince])tion. 

Koad improvement in New Jersey really be- 
gan in 1868. when Main street. Orange, was im- 
])ro\ed witb a sixteen-incb Telford pavement. 
Tbis i)ro\ed so satisfactory tbat it was soon 
extended to tbe adjoining townships. The 
residents of other ])ortions of Essex county, 
seeing its value, began to claiiior for a similar 
road covering and to that end bad a law passed 
known as the Kssex County Road Law. 
Under its provisions the work was pushed for- 
ward with such satisfactory results tbat tbe ad- 
joining counties of Union, Passaic, Bergen 
and Hudson soon fell into line and ])aved six- 
teen feet in tbe center of many of their leading 
thoroughfares. But after a time the cost, par- 
ticularly in the s])arsely settled sections became 
burdensome: then a remedy was sought by ap- 
pealing to the state to bear a portion of the 
expense. After much arginnent and many ob- 
jections tbe state aid law was finally passed in 
1802 thanks to the organized efforts of the 
wheelmen. Under the provisions of tbis act 
the state agrees to ])ay one-tbird of tbe cost of 
the improvement of all highways tbat shall be 
approved by it. 

From 1803, when tbe law became actually 
operative, until tbe present, the work has gone 
forward, constantly increasing in po])ularity, 
and the demands upon tbe state bave been so 
great tbat tbe annual appropriation has been 
gradually increased from $7.5.000 to $250,000, 
and still our citizens clamor for more.

HOLSTEIN FRIESIAN DAIRY OF MP,. H, D, ROE. SUSSEX COUNTY

Since the enactment of the road law the state 
has contributed $1,7<>0.1<>H..5.5 as its sliare of the 
cost of improving- l,04'4i miles of wagon roads, 
and there are 102 miles more imder constrvie- 
tion, thus bringing our mileage up to 1,1 -IG. 

The influence of the example of the state has 
stimulated many of the towns, boroughs, vil- 
lages and townshi])s to imi)rove tlieir liighways 
without waiting for state aid. and by this means 
another thousand miles have been added to oiu' 
system of improved highways: thus Xew Jer- 
sey has to-day moi'e miles of good, hard, 
smooth roads convenient for travel at all sea- 
sons of the year tliaii any other two states of 
the Union combined. Tliese good roads are 
distributed throughout the state from Sussex 
in the north to Ca))e "Slay in t.'ie south. They 
traverse our beautiful mountain region, sweep 
around our hills or follow the varying courses 
of our rivers and seaeoast, thus eiiabling the 
visitors within our borders to enjoy all of the 
beauties of nature, to breathe the fresh air of 
the mountain or the salt air of the seashore, 
with ease and comfort. 

The desirability of New Jersey as a place 
of residence is becoming more and more widely 
known, and as a conseciuence the residents of 
other states are coming to us. We have the 
natives of a larger number of the states of the 
Union residing in our country and suburban 
districts than has any other state, and M'hen 



asked: "How did yo>i happen to make your 
home in New Jei'seyf' the reply almost invar- 
iably is: "The good roads first attracted me; 
then I began to look into the other advantages 
of New Jersey as a place of residence, and here 
I am. and here I am going to stay." 

New Jersey has been long known as "tiie 
paradise of the wheelmen," and it is now be- 
coming ecinally well known to the automol)ilist, 
owing to the I'act that we have so many through 
lines of good roads. These extend from Xew 
York through Newark, Elizabeth and New 
Bi'unswick. run to and alonj)- the short' throuah 
Long Hraneh and Lakewood to Atlantic City, 
and thence to the city of brotherly love; also 
from New York through Paterson to the beau- 
tiful mountains and Greenwood l^ake in the 
north and from N^ewark through historic JNIor- 
ristown to ])ictures(iue I^ake Ilopatcoiig and 
from Trenton to the seashore at Long JJ ranch. 

In addition to these there are many fine, 
smooth roads leading north and south, connect- 
ing the numerous pretty country places for 
which New Jersey is so justly famous. In 
short. New Jersey is the paradise of the horse- 
man, wheelman and automobilist. The state 
enjoys an incalculable advantage in these im- 
jjroved highways. It is an advantage, not alone 
of simple convenience, but of business economy 
and facility as well.
